Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, with due regard to the Clifford Conservation Area
- The effect on Local Green Space
- The effect on biodiversity and protected trees
- Would any 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 substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm as inappropriate development, combined with significant harm to character and appearance and failure to demonstrate very special circumstances, was not outweighed by any material considerations.
The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm from inappropriate development and the significant harm to character and appearance were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated to justify the proposal.
