Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development comprises inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the listed building
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm and heritage harm to the listed building setting is not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate very special circumstances.
