Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the effect on openness, having regard to the Framework

What decided it

The proposal qualifies as limited infilling in a village under paragraph 149(e) of the Framework and therefore is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with no other harm identified to outweigh the housing benefits.

the benefits of housing delivery and the absence of any identified harm outweighed the conflict with the out-of-date Local Plan Policy EN2, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy H5Policy EN2
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 149Paragraph 183Paragraph 184
