Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the location is suitable for the proposed development with reference to the locational strategy of the development plan
- 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness, and the other considerations advanced do not amount to very special circumstances to justify it.
Substantial weight was given to harm to the Green Belt; the other considerations (accessibility benefits, housing supply, proximity to settlement boundary) were found individually and collectively insufficient to outweigh this harm and amount to very special circumstances.
