Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- if the development is inappropriate development, its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and purposes of including land within it
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- if the development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations that amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the harms to openness, Green Belt purposes and character and appearance are not clearly outweighed by the minor social and economic benefits.
The substantial weight attached to harm to the Green Belt and the significant harm to character and appearance were not clearly outweighed by the minor social and economic benefits of providing one additional dwelling and minor construction works.
