Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of, and the purposes of including land within, the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that reduces openness in both visual and spatial terms, and the harm is not clearly outweighed by other considerations to establish very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS4 of the Rotherham Local Plan Core Strategy 2013-2028Policy SP2 of the Rotherham Local Plan Sites and Policies
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 143Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
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.
