Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would result in inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt through loss of openness, and the modest benefits do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm.
the modest benefits of housing supply and economic contribution did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness
