Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt and whether it would harm its openness, having regard to the Framework and policies in the Development Plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the New Forest Special Area of Conservation, the New Forest Special Protection Area, the New Forest Ramsar site, the Solent and Southampton Water Special Protection Area, the Solent and Southampton Water Ramsar site, and the Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt 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 represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm its openness, and the appellant has failed to demonstrate very special circumstances that clearly outweigh this harm, particularly given the absence of affordable housing and unmitigated effects on protected sites.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
