Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the relevant policies of the development plan which seek to manage the location of new development and access to services
- 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and character and appearance of the area caused by the proposal was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
