The development comprises inappropriate development in the Green Belt which causes harm by reason of its inappropriateness. Moreover, due to its scale and location, the development causes further harm to visual amenity of the Green Belt, the landscape and the countryside generally. Very special circumstances have not been demonstrated which would outweigh the harm to the Green Belt caused by inappropriateness and other harm. The development is therefore contrary to adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2012 policies CS1, CSS1, CSEN2, CSQ3; Saved Adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 policies C4, D1, G2, GB4, H17; Emerging South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2034 policies STRAT 1, STRAT 6, ENV1, DES1, H14, the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites August 2015.
