Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on protected species
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal amounts to inappropriate development causing substantial harm to the Green Belt through disproportionate additions and reduced openness, with potential harm to protected species, and the limited weight of other considerations does not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
