Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 absence of a suitable mechanism to prevent elements of the fallback scheme being implemented before the appeal scheme commenced meant the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal could not be established.
Framework references: 153, 154
