Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is 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 proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to its openness and character, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
