Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing inherent harm by reason of disproportionate additions and loss of openness, and the economic and employment benefits did not clearly outweigh this harm to establish very special circumstances.
