Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the revised design of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the 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 fallback position of the previously approved scheme, which had commenced and would be mutually exclusive with the revised scheme, provided very special circumstances that clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt.
Framework references: 152, 153
