Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is inappropriate in the Green Belt and the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the setting of the nearby listed building
- whether a financial contribution towards the provision of affordable housing is required
- if the 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 development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
The harm to the Green Belt, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the limited weight attributable to housing supply and economic benefits, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist.
