Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the scheme would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the harm by inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by the other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the identified benefits do not clearly outweigh the harm by inappropriateness and the harm to openness and character and appearance.
Framework references: 153, 154, 155
Plan policies cited: Policy P2, Policy S1, Policy P3, Policy D1, Policy D4
