Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the local development strategy and the accessibility of services and facilities
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, and the significance of the Winkton Conservation Area
  • the effect of the development on the grade II listed The Thatched Cottage
  • if the proposals would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether any 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 is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with greater impact on openness than existing development, and the identified public benefits do not clearly outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness and other harm to justify very special circumstances.
