Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt as it would not constitute limited infilling and would result in substantial harm to openness and character that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, meaning the very special circumstances required to justify the development do not exist.
