Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including its effect on openness
- whether any 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 the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations including the limited weight of the permitted development fallback position.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness, to which substantial weight was attached, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations which carried only limited weight.
Framework references: 149, 150
