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 any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm to the Green Belt by reasons of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would result in moderate harm to openness, and the other considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Core Policy 57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, Adopted January 2015
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
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.
