Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect on openness and the purposes of the Green Belt
- Flood risk
- Whether 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 proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness and character, and the appellant has not demonstrated very special circumstances to justify approval.
