Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- If the proposal would be 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 it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness and Green Belt purposes, and the modest benefits from housing delivery and economic activity do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits, and very special circumstances were not established.
