Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to outlook and light
- the effect of the proposal on protected species
- if the proposal 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to neighbouring living conditions was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
The substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight of other considerations advanced, so the development could not be justified.
