Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate development, whether any 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 development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate in the Green Belt and causes moderate harm to openness, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist to justify it.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DP10DP13
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 219
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.
