Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the setting of the Kenilworth Conservation Area and the effect on the setting of the Grade I listed Kenilworth Castle and the Grade II* listed Registered Historic Park and Garden
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
  • whether or not any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and heritage assets, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
