Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt including the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to access to local facilities
  • 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 that would harm openness, and the moderate harm identified is not clearly outweighed by the limited economic benefits, so very special circumstances do not exist.

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness, to which substantial weight must be attached, is not clearly outweighed by the limited economic benefits from tourism.
