Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including any effect on openness, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt by failing to preserve openness and conflicting with Green Belt purposes, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1Policy SC7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 138Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
