Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies; and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the proposal provides adequate drainage measures
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reasons of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, given the weight attached to it by the Framework, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits of biodiversity and landscape enhancement, limited benefits of heritage and economic considerations, and the neutral effect of proposed conditions.
