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 appeal site is a suitable location for housing, with particular regard to the local development strategy and access to services and facilities, and whether the implementation of the proposed development would create a new dwelling
- 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 development
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with greater impact on openness than existing development, and the modest benefits do not amount to very special circumstances to justify it.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, together with limited additional benefits from replacing poor-quality buildings and improving living conditions, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
