Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- if the proposed development is inappropriate, the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would result in a harmful loss of openness to the Green Belt through an increased building footprint and spatial spread of development, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 154
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.
