Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal 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 of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 Green Belt openness and rural character, to which substantial weight must be given under paragraph 153 of the Framework, was not clearly outweighed by the economic and social benefits of the proposal.
