Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances and disability-related needs, which attracted only moderate weight.
