Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the provisions of the Framework
  • The effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the site is in a suitable location for residential development, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area and accessibility to services and facilities
  • If the proposal would be 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 it

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the limited benefits do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to Green Belt openness and purposes, and the location fails to accord with the spatial strategy for housing.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy 1 of LPP2, Policy 3 of LPP1, Policy 14 of LPP1, Policy 21 of LPP2
