Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Trysull and Seisdon Conservation Area and the setting of The Croft, a locally listed building
- 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 substantial weight given to the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with harm to openness and heritage assets, was not clearly outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
