Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the appeal proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and its purposes
- whether or not there is any other harm that would result
- whether or not any other considerations exist and the weight that should be afforded to them
- if inappropriate development, whether or not any harm to the Green Belt 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 the appeal proposal
What decided it
The appeal proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which causes harm by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, and no very special circumstances have been demonstrated to justify it.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, which attracts substantial weight, was not clearly outweighed by any other considerations, and the appeal proposal conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
