Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • Whether the proposal is in an accessible location
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on Grade 2 agricultural land
  • Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and whether this would amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet the Green Belt exception for limited affordable housing because the site is not within, adjacent to, or well-related to an existing settlement, and the identified benefits do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt and other harms identified.
