Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area, including the Golden Valley Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on trees and biodiversity
- 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 comprises inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would reduce openness and harm the Conservation Area, with the identified public benefits insufficient to constitute the very special circumstances necessary to justify approval.
