Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- Whether the development is at risk of flooding
- 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 development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate in the Green Belt causing harm to openness and purposes, lacks very special circumstances to justify it, and fails to provide adequate flood risk assessment for Highly Vulnerable development in Flood Zone 3.
