Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposal is in compliance with Paragraph 80 of the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the proposal on ecology
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal.
What decided it
The considerable weight given to the scheme's design and other benefits did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt, so very special circumstances were not established.
Considerable weight attributed to the design and other benefits of the scheme did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt, so the balance tipped against the proposal.
