Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development on the character of the locality
  • whether the redevelopment of the site preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Cartledge Conservation Area (CA)
  • if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

the harm to the openness of the Green Belt and to the character and appearance of the Cartledge Conservation Area was not clearly outweighed by the cumulative public benefits, so very special circumstances did not exist

the cumulative public and other benefits (housing delivery, heritage asset preservation, residents' safety and amenity, site optimisation) did not clearly outweigh the harm to Green Belt openness and the Conservation Area, so very special circumstances necessary to justify the development did not exist
