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 to justify it
What decided it
The increase in spatial footprint and consolidation of development would cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, failing to establish very special circumstances.

- Policy NHE5Policy NHE8
