Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
- The effect of the development on Sandals Cottage (at 1021 Warwick Road) as a non-designated heritage asset
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The temporary 12-month permission limiting the time-bound harm, combined with the significant community and social benefits for vulnerable users and the protected characteristics engaged under equality law, clearly outweighed the identified harm to the Green Belt, character and heritage asset.
