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; and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the site forms a suitable location for residential development having regard to national and local plan policies

What decided it

The conflict with the development plan was outweighed by the site's sustainable location on the edge of a Tier 1 settlement, the building's existing residential use, and the proposal's accordance with the Framework's sustainable development objective.
