Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt in terms of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
- The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the modest housing benefit and limited weight of the fallback position
