Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal schemes are inappropriate development in the green belt having regard to the revised framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the appeal schemes on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a dwelling having regard to local and national planning policy
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the appeal schemes
What decided it
The appeal schemes constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with a greater impact on openness than the original building, and the appellant failed to demonstrate very special circumstances to justify this harm.
