Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effects of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 fails to meet the requirement that ancillary residential buildings be small and subordinate in scale to the original building under Policy GB15, and the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB2Policy GB15
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 142Paragraph 154Paragraph 153
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
