Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, land use and amount of development, with particular regard to whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The proposed development would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the limited housing and economic benefits do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the principle of Green Belt protection.
