Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • whether the site would be suitable for the proposal in accessibility terms, having regard to the location of facilities, services and access to public transport and the potential reliance on journeys by private cars
  • the effect upon the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy
  • if the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes reuse of part of an existing building within the Green Belt that preserves openness and does not conflict with Green Belt purposes, and therefore does not constitute inappropriate development requiring very special circumstances.
