Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the development plan
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way 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 it

What decided it

The harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness is not clearly outweighed by the limited social, economic and personal benefits of the proposal.
