Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on openness
  • whether any 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 that does not fall within the exceptions in paragraphs 154 or 155 of the Framework, and the environmental and design merits do not amount to very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the substantial harm caused by inappropriateness.
