Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and loss of openness, to which substantial weight was afforded, was not clearly outweighed by the other considerations put forward, which carried only modest weight.
The modest weight afforded to other considerations, including design acceptability and potential benefits to the appellants, did not clearly outweigh the substantial weight given to the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and loss of openness.
