Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, the effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether sufficient information has been submitted in respect of climate change
- 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 proposal would result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and countryside character, with insufficient other considerations to constitute very special circumstances justifying approval.
