Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the scheme is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The development does not substantially harm the openness of the Green Belt as it is seen amongst a wider complex of development and larger buildings, and therefore falls within the exception at Framework paragraph 154(g) for redevelopment of previously developed land.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy P2
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 153Paragraph 154

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
