Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including the effect on openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- If the development is inappropriate, its effect on openness and 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, as the indicative plan shows a single-storey dwelling of reduced floor area and volume compared to existing structures, meaning the development is not inappropriate and does not require very special circumstances.
