Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the scheme would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and policies of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy 2015
- whether the development would be in a suitable location having regard to the Local Plan Strategy policies and the Framework
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the harm to openness and unsuitability of location are not clearly outweighed by the modest benefits of a single dwelling.
