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 effect 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 would cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness and conflict with its purposes, and the modest weight afforded to the appellant's accessibility and safety concerns was insufficient to outweigh this harm and establish very special circumstances.
