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
- 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, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the limited weight attributable to the appellant's personal circumstances, self-build housing delivery concerns, or the modest social and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154Paragraph 152Paragraph 153
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.
