Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the harm due to inappropriateness in the Green Belt, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations such that very special circumstances exist to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial and cumulative harm to Green Belt openness, character and appearance, heritage setting, and flood risk cannot be outweighed by the unmet need for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation, particularly given the unauthorised and intentional nature of the development.
