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
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, meaning very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy GB1, Policy DSC1
