Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development on MOL, having regard to the Green Belt policies in the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the MOL
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development on MOL causing substantial harm to openness through a significant vertical uplift and increased massing, and the other considerations raised did not amount to very special circumstances capable of outweighing this harm.
