Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and daylight / sunlight
- If inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate harm to openness and material harm to neighbouring living conditions, with no other considerations clearly outweighing these harms to establish very special circumstances.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate loss of openness, together with material harm to neighbouring living conditions, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations; very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
