Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development 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 and the purpose of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the site's ecology
- 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery, so very special circumstances do not exist.
the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were afforded considerable weight but did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness
