Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on openness
- whether there are any other considerations sufficient to clearly outweigh the harm caused by inappropriateness and any other harm, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify the development
What decided it
Substantial weight must be given to the harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, which cannot be outweighed by the considerations raised, and no very special circumstances exist to justify the development.
The harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, to which substantial weight must be given, was not outweighed by other considerations including human rights arguments, consistency with a precedent decision, or the planning history of the road.
