Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • 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 so as to amount to very special circumstances needed to justify the development
