Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- whether the site would provide a suitable location for residential development, having particular regard to the settlement strategy for the area and its accessibility by sustainable forms of transport
- 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 proposed development
What decided it
The proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to its openness, and the site would not provide a suitable location for residential development, with the identified harms not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
