Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the scheme would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on flood risk
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness in the Green Belt, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with demonstrable harm to openness and the failure to undertake a sequential test for flood risk, was not clearly outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and demonstrable harm to openness, together with significant harm from failure to undertake a sequential flood risk test, was not clearly outweighed by the modest benefit of one dwelling and limited economic benefits
