Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the purposes of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing property and the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook, privacy and amenity space provision
- whether the site forms an appropriate location for residential development having regard to local and national planning policy
- if the proposal is 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 necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify approval.
