Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- if found to be inappropriate development, 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 to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to Green Belt openness and the moderate harm to character and appearance of the rural area, arising from the introduction of suburban-style gated features, were not clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced, such that very special circumstances could not be established.
