Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness, combined with negative impacts on character and appearance, which were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, resulting in the absence of very special circumstances to justify the development.
