Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to relevant development plan policies and the Framework
- The effect of the proposal 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 moderate harm to Green Belt openness and character and appearance resulting from the proposal is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, including the fallback position, such that very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
