Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm from inappropriate development was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight of the sustainability benefits, failing to establish very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 21 of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 152Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
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.
