Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the 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 the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the limited weight attributable to improved living conditions and small-scale economic benefits.
