Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 would have a greater impact on the spatial and visual openness of the Green Belt than the existing buildings and approved fallback position, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1Policy GB3Policy GB11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 203
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
