Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- whether or not the proposal would provide a suitable location for housing having regard to the position of the site at Bolter End and its accessibility to services and facilities
- if the development would be inappropriate, 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, given substantial weight, was not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits of self-build housing and modest accessibility to services.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits of self-build housing supply and acceptable access to services, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
