Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development proposed upon the Green Belt, with particular regard to the effect upon its openness
  • Whether, having regard to the development plan's spatial strategy, the appeal site provides a suitable location for the development proposed and the effects that would be wrought to the character and appearance of 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 development proposed

What decided it

The harm to Green Belt openness and inappropriateness of the development was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist to justify approval.
