Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt including its effect on openness, having regard to the Framework and the development plan
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Cookham Dean Conservation Area
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the less than substantial harm to the conservation area were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and no very special circumstances were established to justify the inappropriate development.
