Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of, and the purposes of including land within, the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the character, appearance and significance of the Moss Valley Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the valued landscape in which the appeal site is located
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm, combined with identified harm to the conservation area and valued landscape, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposed development, therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SS10Policy SDC5Policy SDC3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 143Paragraph 154Paragraph 155Paragraph 180Paragraph 205Paragraph 208
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.
