Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for an additional dwelling, with particular regard to the Council's settlement strategy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 it
What decided it
The proposal's harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with conflict with the Council's settlement strategy, means the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist.
