Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the public right of way
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight given to harm to Green Belt openness and the harm to the public right of way, which together are not outweighed by the moderate weight of the appellant's personal and care circumstances, means very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with harm to the public right of way, outweighed the moderate weight of the appellant's personal circumstances and care needs, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
