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 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
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of a protected habitats site
- whether the submitted planning obligation meets the relevant statutory tests
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal met the limited infilling exception in NPPF paragraph 149(e) as it would fill a genuine gap between two existing residential buildings on the village fringe, and therefore was not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
