Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development 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 in a suitable location for the proposal
- 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm and significant harm from the unsuitable countryside location are not clearly outweighed by the benefits of proximity to services and housing supply contribution, so very special circumstances do not exist.
