Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt in terms of the Framework
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbours
  • If the proposal would be inappropriate development whether the 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 necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposal harms the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and this substantial harm is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
