Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the 2021 revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • Its effect on the openness and the purposes of the Green Belt
  • Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness is not clearly outweighed by any other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist.

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and other harms identified was not clearly outweighed by other considerations including the modest housing supply benefit and absence of objections from the Highway Authority
