Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the Framework including the effect upon the openness of 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 proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness is not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefit of limited housing delivery in the context of a shortfall in five-year supply.
