Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight given to design, environmental, housing supply and economic benefits.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight attached to design and environmental benefits and very limited weight to housing supply and economic benefits.
