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 on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The existence and specifics of the lawful fallback position, which would result in a more visually harmful disjointed design, was of considerable importance and clearly outweighed the harm from inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness.
