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 any other relevant development plan policies and taking account of the effect of the proposed development on openness
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 proposal would not preserve the openness of the Green Belt and would conflict with the purposes of including land within it, constituting inappropriate development for which no very special circumstances exist to justify approval.
