Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- whether adequate provision has been made for drainage and flood risk
- 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 development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing spatial harm to openness, combined with undemonstrated drainage adequacy, and these harms are not clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV5 of the PDLPchapter 13 of the Framework
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 155
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
