Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the Framework
- 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, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt by definition, and the material harm to openness, to which substantial weight must be attached, is not clearly outweighed by any other considerations amounting to very special circumstances.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and material harm to openness was not outweighed by the other considerations advanced, which carried only neutral or limited weight, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 4 of the Local Plan Part 1: Rushcliffe Core Strategy (2014)Policy 21 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 147Paragraph 137Paragraph 148
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
