Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If found to be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this amounts to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to its openness, and the other considerations put forward do not clearly outweigh this harm, so very special circumstances do not exist.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- STRAT9DM21
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 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.
