Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed two-storey houses would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, and the appellant's considerations did not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
Plan policies cited: Policy GBR1, Policy DES2, Policy DES3, Policy DES4
