Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of host building and area
- if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness and significant harm to character and appearance, which is not outweighed by the limited benefits advanced.
