Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed, having regard to accessibility to job opportunities, facilities and services
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 development is inappropriate in the Green Belt and would harm its openness, and the identified benefits do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
