Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the appeal development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the appeal development
What decided it
The harm by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness in the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- GB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
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.
