Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area, with due regard to the Bilbrough Conservation Area and neighbouring listed building
- in the event that the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the 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 is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness and, more significantly, causing less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area that is not outweighed by public benefits, and the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist.
