- Inspector
- Spataru A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the development plan policy
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The appeal site is not located within a village and therefore the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which, combined with harm to openness, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations including housing supply benefits.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the contribution to housing supply and other benefits, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
