Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policies, and the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on heritage assets
- the effect of the proposed development 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 proposed development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriate development and moderate loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by any other considerations, including the contribution to housing supply, such that very special circumstances did not exist.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt and moderate harm to openness were not clearly outweighed by the benefit of one additional dwelling and the current undersupply of housing
