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
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of open space
- 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 fails to meet any of the exceptions to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the identified harms to Green Belt openness, character and appearance, and loss of open space are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
