Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the ecological effects of the proposal
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to meet any of the paragraph 149 exceptions and would cause substantial harm to openness and character that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
the harm to the Green Belt (by reason of inappropriateness, openness, and character) substantially outweighed the limited benefits of economic/social gains and one windfall dwelling, so very special circumstances were not established
