Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location having regard to local and national policies and access to services and facilities
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies including the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- 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 proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness that would not be clearly outweighed by other considerations, providing a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
the modest housing benefits and contribution to supply did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm by inappropriateness and harm to openness of the Green Belt, and the unsustainable location
