Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness is not clearly outweighed by the moderate social and economic benefits of delivering one additional dwelling, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
The substantial weight attributed to Green Belt harm (both by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness) was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight of social and economic benefits, even accounting for the Council's housing land supply shortfall.
