Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the scheme would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Iron Acton Conservation Area
- its effect on the setting and significance of the Lamb Inn and The Barn
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, and causes less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area which is not outweighed by the modest benefits of a single dwelling.
