Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to its effect on openness, the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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 with a significant spatial reduction in openness, and the minor benefits would not clearly outweigh this harm to constitute very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 137Paragraph 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.
