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 and purposes of the Green Belt
If found to be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this amounts to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The site is not located within a village as defined by the development plan, and therefore the proposal cannot benefit from the exception in NPPF paragraph 149(e) for limited infilling in villages, making it inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the limited benefits offered.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy GB1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 137Paragraph 138Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
