Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether or not any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the harm caused by inappropriate development in the Green Belt and moderate harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of a single dwelling.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Saved Policy EN2 of the Amber Valley Borough Local Plan (2006)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 137Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
