Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan policy
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 42 and 44 Repton Road, having regard to outlook and light
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether the proposal would comply with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
  • The effect of the development on biodiversity
  • If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, and the limited benefits do not outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt and other identified harms.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic benefits do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, the significant adverse impact on openness, the overbearing effect on neighbouring living conditions, the harm to character and appearance, the failure of the sequential flood risk test, and the unmitigated biodiversity loss.
