Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision for car parking, and if not, the effect of any under provision
  • 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 required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with harm to openness and character and appearance, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and Green Belt policies provide a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11 of the Framework notwithstanding the housing land supply shortfall.

the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and other harm to openness and character and appearance was not clearly outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery and the fallback position, and the appeal was dismissed
