Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness and character, and the other considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh these harms to constitute very special circumstances.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the additional harm to openness and character and appearance were not outweighed by the limited economic benefits and service provision, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
