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 and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including a Primary Area of Multiple Environmental Sensitivity and the significance of the Moss Valley Conservation Area
- 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
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify approval.
