Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding 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 substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm from inappropriate development, combined with significant harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, such that very special circumstances did not exist to justify the proposal.
