Why it was refused
- The garage as built does not benefit from being an exception cited in paragraph 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework and is therefore inappropriate development resulting in harm to the Green Belt by definition of it being inappropriate. There are no known very special circumstances which either alone or cumulatively clearly outweigh the by definition harm which would arise if planning permission were granted. The development is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of Chapter 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
