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 openness of the Green Belt
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The appeal site lies outside the settlement boundary of Ravenshead and does not constitute limited infilling in a village, making the proposal inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness that is not outweighed by the limited housing benefits.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited housing benefits and other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist
