Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal

What decided it

The substantial weight given to the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with harm to openness and character and appearance, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development.

Framework references: 137, 149, 150

Plan policies cited: Policy N37, Policy N33, Policy N37A, Policy P10, Policy P12, Policy H2
