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, including its effects on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land in it
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The significant harm to the openness of the Green Belt caused by the substantial increase in built form and footprint, which is not clearly outweighed by the modest housing delivery benefits, means very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
the modest benefits of delivering three additional homes and local economic contribution were given limited weight and did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness
