Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the framework and relevant policies within the Local Plan
  • The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • If the development is inappropriate development, whether any 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 substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriate development and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
