Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including the effect on its openness and the purposes of including land within it
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 it
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that harms its openness and encroaches on the countryside, and the moderate social and economic benefits do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- GB1GB2Core Policy 10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 138Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
