Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight attached to the appellant's personal circumstances, and very special circumstances were not demonstrated.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not outweighed by the moderate weight of the appellant's respite care circumstances.
