Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate within 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 on the character and appearance of the area
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm arising from this, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as there is no evidence of need for a building larger than the original form to meet laundry and storage requirements.
