Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to trees
  • If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that causes moderate harm to openness, and the limited weight afforded to housing supply and economic benefits does not clearly outweigh this harm such that very special circumstances exist to justify it.
