- Lo S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether or not any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The mobile home constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that causes substantial harm to openness and character, and the appellants' personal and operational circumstances do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to outweigh this harm.
