Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant Development Plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- the effect of the proposed development on the rural character of the area and its landscape
- if the proposed development is inappropriate, 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 the proposal
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet any exception under NPPF paragraph 149 and would cause substantial spatial and visual harm to Green Belt openness that is not clearly outweighed by the limited social and economic benefits offered.
Framework references: 137, 147, 148, 149
