Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 the proposal

What decided it

The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the inappropriateness of the development, which could not be clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits to the local community and sustainable construction features.
