Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the Framework
  • if it is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would result in a greater impact on Green Belt openness than the existing development, and the positive considerations did not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
