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 would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to garden space, daylight, noise and disturbance
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The proposal would reduce the openness of the Green Belt by having a greater impact than existing development, and would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to limited garden space and unmitigated noise from the pub car park.
