Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to its visual openness was not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefit of providing a bungalow and limited benefits of re-use and construction activity, so very special circumstances did not exist.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to visual openness was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight given to bungalow provision and limited weight given to re-use of buildings and construction benefits
