Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The compelling personal circumstances of the appellant and their immediate family, which would result in substantial hardship if the development were not permitted, clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness.
