Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether 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 it
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt, comprising inappropriateness and significant loss of openness, was not clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced, so very special circumstances were not established.
