Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies.
- Whether the proposal is in a suitable location for a new dwelling.
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations? If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal.
What decided it
The significant benefits, including the innovative PeePower technology and high quality design, did not clearly outweigh the harm from inappropriate development and loss of openness in the Green Belt, so very special circumstances were not established.
the benefits of the scheme, including significant weight given to the PeePower technology, design quality, housing supply and economic benefits, did not clearly outweigh the harm from inappropriateness, the limited loss of openness, and the conflict with policies on the location of new housing outside the settlement boundary
