Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of Bishops Walk and the Local Heritage Area
- the effect of the development on adjacent trees
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt as it would not be materially larger than the building it replaces and would be maintained in the same use, and no other harms to character, appearance or trees were identified.
