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 of the Green Belt
- 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 substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness is not clearly outweighed by the limited economic and social benefits of a single dwelling.
The substantial harms to the Green Belt by virtue of inappropriateness and loss of openness are not clearly outweighed by the limited economic and social benefits and personal circumstances, so very special circumstances do not exist.
