Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 very significant and substantial benefit to the living conditions and standard of accommodation of the current occupiers outweighs the harm to the Green Belt, establishing the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal.
Framework references: 149
