Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposal would be safe from risk of flooding
- 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 the proposal
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing significant harm to openness, combined with unresolved flood risk concerns, and the harm is not outweighed by other considerations.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and significant harm to openness, carrying substantial weight, is not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances, limited contribution to housing land supply, local economic benefits from construction, or support for local services.
