Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on a non-designated heritage asset
- Whether the 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 development
What decided it
The absence of a suitable mechanism to prevent the concurrent implementation of both the replacement dwelling and the separately-approved large ancillary outbuilding, which together would cause unjustified harm to Green Belt openness, constituted a material consideration indicating the decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
