Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development 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 development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development would lead to increased flood risk
- Whether the development accords with the Council's development plan policy in respect of climate change
- 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness and significant harm to character and appearance, and the modest benefits of four dwellings do not clearly outweigh this harm such that very special circumstances exist.
the modest benefits associated with the delivery of four dwellings do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the significant harm to character and appearance
