Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- if the development is inappropriate development, the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers
- 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt by failing to preserve openness, and this harm would not be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist to justify permission.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not outweighed by other considerations including housing land supply shortfall, amenity improvements, and environmental benefits
