Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the development on the openness of the Green Belt and whether any 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 substantial demonstrable harm to the openness and permanence of the Green Belt resulting from the introduction of built development on currently open land was not outweighed by the appellant's sustainability credentials and ecological benefits, which do not constitute very special circumstances.
