Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on parking and highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on the drainage of the site
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt as it would manifestly harm openness and conflict with the purposes of Green Belt designation, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated to outweigh this harm.
