- Inspector
- Edginton A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development 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 development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed All Hallows Church or have an adverse impact on sub-surface archaeology
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The absence of an existing building on the appeal site means the development cannot qualify as a replacement dwelling exception to Green Belt policy, and the identified harms to Green Belt openness and the setting of the listed church are not outweighed by any material considerations amounting to very special circumstances.
