Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • 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 necessary to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would constitute inappropriate development causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness, with insufficient other considerations to clearly outweigh this harm and establish very special circumstances.
