Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm (inappropriateness and loss of openness) combined with significant harm to character and appearance was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
