Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be acceptable in terms of location, land use and amount of development
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant local and national policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development qualifies as limited infilling in a village under NPPF Paragraph 149e and therefore is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
