Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt including its effect on openness and the purposes of including land within it, having regard to the Framework and the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- if the development is inappropriate, 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 fails to satisfy criterion (b) of paragraph 155 of the Framework (demonstrable unmet need) and would cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness contrary to paragraph 154(b), with insufficient other considerations to constitute very special circumstances.
Framework references: 110, 115, 143, 153, 154, 155, 209
