Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the relevant policies of the development plan which seek to manage the location of new development and access to services
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development due to its significant increase in height, and the identified harms to the Green Belt, location suitability, and character are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
