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 any effects on openness
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the dwelling and the street scene
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the 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, and the other considerations did not clearly outweigh this harm so as to constitute very special circumstances.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, which carried only limited weight.
