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 of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would clearly be outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt to which substantial weight must be given, and the other considerations put forward do not clearly outweigh this harm so as to constitute the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development.
