Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposed replacement dwelling would be materially larger than the existing building and would cause substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, which could not be clearly outweighed by the limited weight afforded to the fallback position.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP8Policy DM43Policy 7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 147Paragraph 148
