Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- if the development is inappropriate development, the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 proposed development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, including the housing supply benefit and limited economic benefits.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and adverse effects on openness was not clearly outweighed by social and economic benefits, housing supply contribution, and fallback position considerations
