Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development when regard is paid to local and national policy
  • 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 qualifies as limited infilling within an established pocket of housing and would not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than existing development.
