Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed 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 proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the inappropriate development in the Green Belt, combined with harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist to justify the proposal.
the substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm by reason of inappropriateness and harm to character and appearance of the area was not clearly outweighed by other considerations
