Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed development would comply with the spatial strategy of the development plan
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of development plan policy and the Framework
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The appeal site is not located within Tollerton village but rather in isolated ribbon development separated from the village by fields and distance, making it inappropriate Green Belt development that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
