Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness and the purposes of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
- 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 be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate harm to openness and purposes, and the other considerations advanced did not clearly outweigh this harm to constitute very special circumstances.
