Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal 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 (and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal)

What decided it

The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm its openness, and the limited material considerations in its favour do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm, so very special circumstances do not exist.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EV1
National Planning Policy Framework
