Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 significant weight afforded to the benefit to character and appearance of the area, and the potential harm that would arise if the appeal were dismissed, clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt and constituted very special circumstances.
Framework references: 155, 152, 153, 56
