Status: Decided
Decision: Refused - Change of Use
This decision is subject to the following conditions:
The protection of the openness of the Green Belt is an overriding planning consideration and there is a presumption against inappropriate development within it. The retention of the existing 6 shipping containers is considered to detract from the open character of the Green Belt. As such, it is considered that the siting of the shipping containers constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Insufficiant evidence of very special circumstances have been demonstrated in this application, or are considered to exist in this case, that would outweigh the harm caused by reasons of inappropriateness. Therefore, the retention of the existingshipping containers is considered contrary to saved Policy SR7 of the Wychavon District Local Plan (June 2006) and paragraphs 87 and 88 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
