Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which by definition is harmful, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 142Paragraph 152Paragraph 153Paragraph 154
