Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant policies of the Development Plan
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal 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, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify it
What decided it
Substantial weight given to the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist.
The absence of harm to character and appearance (neutral factor) and other considerations did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness.
