Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development upon highway safety with particular regard to parking demand
- 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 development
What decided it
The proposal qualifies as limited infilling in a village under NPPF paragraph 149e and therefore is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with no harmful impacts on highway safety or neighbour amenity.

- Core Policy 13Core Policy 33Core Policy 37
