Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with significant harm to openness, and no very special circumstances exist to outweigh this harm.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and impact on openness was not outweighed by the limited benefits of housing supply, social and economic benefits, and self-build provision; the tilted balance did not apply because Green Belt protection provides a clear reason for refusal.
