Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on trees
- 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 proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would have a greater impact on openness than the existing development, and the harm caused by this inappropriateness and the unsuitable location is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
