Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location, with regard to flood risk
- If it 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 proposal would harm Green Belt openness as inappropriate development, and the limited weight given to social, economic and housing benefits did not clearly outweigh this harm, so very special circumstances were not established.
