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
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and the other considerations in the case do not clearly outweigh this harm, so very special circumstances do not exist.
Substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness; other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm; balance tipped against the proposal.
