Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Meadow Cottage
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development whether the harm by reason 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 is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to qualify as limited infilling, and the identified harms to openness, character and living conditions are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
The substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with harm to character and appearance and living conditions, was not outweighed by the benefits of providing a single dwelling in a location where the Council can demonstrate a 7.08-year housing land supply.
