Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Stanley Conservation Area
  • if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal represents limited infilling in a village within the Green Belt exception at NPPF paragraph 149(e) and would preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area through its well-contained positioning and subordinate appearance.
