Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No 48 Holywell Road with regard to outlook
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the 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 cause substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, and would harm neighbouring living conditions, with no other considerations clearly outweighing these harms to justify very special circumstances.
