Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposals would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- whether the proposals would accord with the development plan's strategy for the distribution of housing
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area (Appeal B only)
- would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposals constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would substantially harm openness and conflict with the development plan's housing distribution strategy, and the modest benefits do not amount to very special circumstances to justify approval.
