Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the Chilterns National Landscape
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, 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 to justify it
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with moderate harm to openness, substantial harm to the non-designated heritage asset, and harm to the Chilterns National Landscape character, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations and therefore very special circumstances do not exist.
