Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether 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 weight given to harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with harm to character and appearance, was not outweighed by any other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, together with harm to character and appearance, was not outweighed by the considerations advanced by the appellant, and the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist.
