Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- whether the 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
What decided it
The proposed development would result in a harmful loss of openness to the Green Belt that would not be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and the Framework's Green Belt protection provides a clear reason for refusal that displaces the presumption in favour of development.
the limited weight afforded to housing supply contribution and other benefits did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt, and the Framework's Green Belt protection provided a clear reason for refusal
