Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies, including assessment of effect on openness and purposes of the Green Belt, and if so whether very special circumstances exist to justify it

What decided it

The reduced scale of the proposal (two parking spaces instead of three) combined with natural stone facing of retaining walls results in a neutral effect on Green Belt openness and preserves the character of the area.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 138Paragraph 150

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.
