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
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the proposed development would accord with the Council's strategy with regard to the location of housing, to focus development at the most sustainable locations and to safeguard the intrinsic beauty of the countryside
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, and this harm would not be clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
