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 occupants, with regard to the provision of internal space
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with greater impact on openness than existing development, combined with failure to provide acceptable internal living space, and no very special circumstances existed to justify approval.
