Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies and the effect on openness
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 introduce a substantial quantum of residential development onto a generally open site, resulting in significant adverse impact on the spatial dimension of Green Belt openness, and the other considerations do not amount to very special circumstances to justify the inappropriate development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CP14B of the Surrey Heath Borough Council Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document 2011 – 2028
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 138Paragraph 149
