Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Thompson P
Postcode: RG9 3EG

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt and purposes of including land within the Green Belt
whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The cumulative volume increase of 58 percent substantially exceeds the 35 percent limit in Policy TB01, constituting disproportionate additions that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Core Strategy Policy CP12Local Plan Policy TB01
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 147Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
