Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including any effect on openness, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, which the Framework requires to be given substantial weight, was not clearly outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances and other considerations advanced.
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, to which substantial weight must be given under paragraph 153 of the Framework, was not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances relating to limited mobility, the need for bungalows, or other considerations such as minor economic benefits and landscaping enhancements.
Framework references: 11, 142, 143, 153, 154, 155
