Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 including the effect upon the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- the effect upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Locally Important Landscape Area (LILA)
- if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development, 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 required to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, loss of openness, and encroachment into the countryside, combined with harm to landscape character and appearance, is not clearly outweighed by the modest economic and tourism benefits, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
