Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- on the basis that 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 very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt by definition, and the considerations in favour, including the children's additional needs, did not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
Framework references: 152, 153
