Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework, any other relevant development plan policies and taking account of the effect of the proposed development on openness
- 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 proposal would cause considerable harm to the openness of the Green Belt through the excavation of a substantial basement and regrading of the site, which would have a greater impact on openness than the existing development, and no very special circumstances exist to justify this inappropriate development.
