Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether 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 harm to the Green Belt from inappropriate development and encroachment into open countryside was not clearly outweighed by the limited social and economic benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt from inappropriate development and encroachment was not clearly outweighed by the limited social and economic benefits of the proposal, so very special circumstances did not exist to justify approval.
