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, including considering the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and its purposes
- if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development, 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 proposal would cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and conflict with its purposes, and the other considerations in the case did not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.

- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 143Paragraph 154
