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 relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, through loss of openness and encroachment into the countryside, combined with moderate harm to character and appearance and the AONB, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.

- Development plan policies
