Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing building and street scene
- whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- if the development would be 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and the Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to clearly outweigh this harm and establish very special circumstances.
