Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
- If the development is inappropriate development, the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The site does not fall within a village for the purposes of paragraph 149 of the Framework, making the development inappropriate in the Green Belt, and the cumulative weight of other considerations does not clearly outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM6DM9
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
