Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on flood risk
  • if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm 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 it

What decided it

The proposal would have a demonstrably greater effect on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing scenario, constituting inappropriate development, and the other considerations identified did not amount to very special circumstances to justify it.

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, given substantial weight as required by the Framework, was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of improved energy efficiency, ecological gains, additional housing supply, and economic benefits.
