Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether each proposed extension would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of each proposed extension on the openness of the Green Belt
- if either or both proposals would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify one or both
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and impact on openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances were not established.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and impact on openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations; substantial weight was given to Green Belt harm as required by the Framework
