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 development on the openness and the purposes of including land within the Green Belt
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area and the accessibility to services and facilities
- the effect of the development on the character or appearance of the area
- 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 failure to demonstrate a locally specific need for affordable housing at parish level, combined with the site's location outside the settlement boundary and the significant harm to Green Belt openness, means very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
