Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework 2024 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 harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and whether this amounts to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and rural character, with minimal economic benefits that do not clearly outweigh this harm, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify approval.
