Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt and its purposes
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and conflict with Green Belt purposes was not clearly outweighed by the housing benefits, affordable housing provision, and self-build nature of the scheme.
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and conflict with two Green Belt purposes was weighed against significant weight for housing provision and affordable housing, and significant weight for self-build provision, but the benefits did not clearly outweigh the harm.
