Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies and the effect on openness
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the Green Belt exceptions and would cause substantial harm to openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, meaning very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
