Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the setting of Hinchcliffe Mill Conservation Area and the setting of listed buildings
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 given to Green Belt harm and harm to character and appearance is not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate very special circumstances.
