Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the purposes of the Green Belt
  • if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development and would not meet the exceptions at Framework paragraph 149(e) or (g), making it inappropriate development for which the moderate benefits do not constitute very special circumstances.

The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm and other harm was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight attached to housing delivery, economic and social benefits, high-quality design, and visual improvement of the landscape.
