Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
What decided it
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness through spatial encroachment was not clearly outweighed by the economic and tourism benefits cited, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt through spatial reduction of openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited or moderate weight afforded to economic benefits and tourism considerations, therefore very special circumstances do not exist.
