Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) and any relevant development plan policies & the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is 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 the development
What decided it
The additional Green Belt and character/appearance harm caused by the entrance gates, brick piers and walls (not covered by the earlier outline permission) and the dwelling's design was not clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced.
Substantial weight to the Green Belt harm and to the combined character/appearance harm from the dwelling and entrance feature was not clearly outweighed by the other considerations, including the extant outline permission accepting loss of openness from the dwelling itself, so very special circumstances were not established.
