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 on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to inappropriate development in the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by the modest benefits of the proposal, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
The substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm by reason of inappropriateness, in addition to modest harm to openness, was not clearly outweighed by the modest benefits of affordable housing delivery and social and economic benefits to the local community.

- Policy SS 10 (Other Rural Areas Strategy)Policy SS8 (Large Villages Strategy)Policy H1 (New Housing Development)Policy H3 (Affordable Housing)
