Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, the effect on the openness of the Green Belt and whether 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 proposed development qualifies as limited infilling in a village under paragraph 149 of the NPPF and Policy P2 of the Local Plan, and is therefore not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
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.
