Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the ecology of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the retained trees
  • 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with significant spatial harm to openness, and the housing supply benefit does not clearly outweigh this harm to establish very special circumstances.

the provision of two dwellings in an area with housing land shortfall was weighty but not of sufficient strength to clearly outweigh the totality of harm from inappropriate development and loss of openness in the Green Belt
