Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not 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 substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness were not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight of the personal circumstances advanced.
the substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm by reason of inappropriateness, in addition to moderate harm to openness, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations including moderate weight for assisted living and future-proofing benefits
