Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
  • 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 proposal

What decided it

The substantial and great weight attached to harm to Green Belt openness and to character and appearance of the AONB was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight afforded to economic benefits and the fallback position, such that very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
