Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and the development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal upon the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the traditional character of the dwelling
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight of the fallback position, such that very special circumstances did not exist.
