Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether or not the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness and character, and the modest benefits of a single dwelling do not amount to very special circumstances to justify it.
the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic support were outweighed by the substantial harm to the Green Belt (including loss of openness) and harm to character and appearance
