Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is 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 the development would be in a suitable location having regard to access to services
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be 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 substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm—both from inappropriateness and loss of openness—was not clearly outweighed by the modest housing contribution and limited economic benefits, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist.
