Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- the effect of the loss of the existing building on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The fallback position of a previously approved permission for extensions and alterations to the existing building would result in greater harm to Green Belt openness than the proposed replacement dwelling, constituting very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm from inappropriateness.
