Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development due to its increased height and visual prominence, and no other considerations were offered to clearly outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1 of the South Staffordshire Core Strategy (2012)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 145Paragraph 147Paragraph 148
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
