Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development, including the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt, having regard to the development plan and the Framework
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness 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 impact on openness, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the benefits of exceptional design quality and sustainability, even when considered cumulatively.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt and its openness was not clearly outweighed by the significant benefits of exceptional design quality and sustainability credentials, plus other considerations such as housing supply and woodland management.
