Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 causes harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and this substantial harm is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist to justify approval.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- KS3HE3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
