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
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 proposal would constitute inappropriate development causing significant harm to the openness of the Green Belt, and the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
the modest benefits of housing delivery and local economic contribution did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness
