Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon openness
- 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to preserve openness, and the limited benefits to the appellant's personal circumstances do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm required to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy RE2Policy DM14
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
