Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on openness and the purposes of including land in the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the street scene, the Area of Great Landscape Value (the AGLV) and the Surrey Hills AONB
- Whether the harm to the Green Belt 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 very special circumstances necessary to justify inappropriate development in the Green Belt do not exist, as the absence of harm to character and appearance and the limited weight of the fallback position do not outweigh the substantial weight required to be attached to harm from inappropriate Green Belt development.
