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 and the effect on openness
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm its openness, and the modest benefits from housing delivery and design quality do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
The modest benefits of housing delivery (given the Council's lack of 5-year supply), design quality, and social and economic benefits were outweighed by the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BAS GB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 153Paragraph 154
