Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Holly Cottage or any features of special architectural interest that it possesses
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, limited harm to openness, and less-than-substantial harm to the listed building was not clearly outweighed by the very limited public benefits of improved accommodation and minor economic benefits.
