Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, and its effects on the openness of the Green Belt
- For Appeal A only, the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- In both appeals, if the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
Both schemes would not cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and therefore fell within the exception for limited infilling or redevelopment of previously developed land in Paragraph 154(g) of the Framework, meaning they were not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
Not applicable; the development was found not to be inappropriate, so no balancing exercise against very special circumstances was required.
Framework references: 153, 154
