Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development on Metropolitan Open Land (MOL)
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of MOL
- 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 the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development on Metropolitan Open Land which causes substantial harm to openness and character, and the moderate benefit of land maintenance does not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
