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, including the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the 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 would result in a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, constituting inappropriate development that could not be justified by very special circumstances, as the identified fallback position and minor benefits did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt.
