Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt considering the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt, and having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 proposal would have a substantially greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, constituting inappropriate development that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
the moderate social and economic benefits of delivering four new homes did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness
