Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- Would 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 plots 6-7 would have a significant spatial and visual impact on the openness of the Green Belt that was not outweighed by other considerations, and no very special circumstances were established to justify the inappropriate development.
Framework references: 149, 148
