Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the NPPF and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- Whether the proposed development represents an acceptable form of development having regard to its flood zone location and the provisions of the NPPF
- 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 proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that is materially larger than the dwelling it replaces, causing harmful loss of openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
