Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, for the purposes of the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposal would demonstrate high standards in sustainable design and construction
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
- whether the proposed development would deliver biodiversity net gain
- the effect of the proposed development on existing landscape features and trees
- if the development is inappropriate, whether 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause harm to openness, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
