Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • if the proposal is inappropriate development, 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

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, given substantial weight under the Framework, was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight attached to the health needs of the disabled family member.

Framework references: 153, 154
