Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the site would be suitably located for the development proposed, having regard to local and national planning policies and its proximity to local services and facilities
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and whether these would amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause harm to openness and be unsustainably located, and the other considerations advanced do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to justify the development.
