Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant development plan policies and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 harmfully reduce the openness of the Green Belt both spatially and visually, with the upper storey having significant presence in public views from Rowington Green, and no very special circumstances exist to justify this substantial harm.

- Development plan policies
- DS18H14H1
