Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, and its effects on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the local landscape
- The effect of the proposal on nature conservation, with particular regard to the Poynton Coppice Local Wildlife Site
- 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 proposal would cause harmful loss of visual openness and adverse effects on spatial openness of the Green Belt, constituting inappropriate development that is not justified by very special circumstances.
The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm and landscape harm was not clearly outweighed by the small boost to housing delivery and other benefits, so the appeal was dismissed.
