Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the appeal proposal would constitute inappropriate development in terms of the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the implications on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to size and scale
- should the appeal proposal constitute inappropriate development, 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 it
What decided it
The appeal proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm through inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness, combined with significant harm to character and appearance, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
