Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling would be inappropriate development in the MOL
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the openness of the MOL
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the nature conservation interests of the site, including the protection of a SINC
- whether the proposed dwelling would make adequate provision for social and intermediate housing
- 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 MOL that would result in significant harm to openness, and the identified benefits do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
