Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, whether this would 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 was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight given to other considerations, particularly the fallback position.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations (moderate weight), so very special circumstances were not established.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PG3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 145Paragraph 133
- Judgments
- Court of Appeal clarification on 'fallback' concept
