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
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable site for housing having regard to its proximity to services and facilities
- 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 substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with the unsuitability of the location for housing, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight given to the appellants' personal circumstances and housing supply contribution.
