Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including any effect on openness, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether it would preserve the significance of the Grade II listed building, Sunnyside
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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, combined with less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance, could not be clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of a single dwelling even accounting for the Council's housing land supply shortfall.
The substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm and the great weight to be afforded to conservation of the listed building were not outweighed by the limited benefits of a single dwelling and support for local services, even allowing for the Council's shortfall in housing land supply.
