Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, for the purposes of the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- whether or not the proposed development would deliver biodiversity net gain
- if the development is inappropriate, whether harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet any exception to the inappropriate development test in the Green Belt and causes harm to openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, meaning very special circumstances do not exist.
