Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
- The effect of the proposal on the character of the countryside
What decided it
The scale, massing, utilitarian design and visually exposed location of the proposed building would result in an adverse effect on the character of the rural landscape, contrary to development plan policies protecting countryside character.
