Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the development preserves the settings of listed buildings near the site and the effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- 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 development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that causes substantial harm to openness and considerable harm to listed building settings, with no public benefits that clearly outweigh these harms, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify approval.
