Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • its effect on openness
  • whether any 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 as the replacement dwelling would be materially larger than the existing building, and the very special circumstances required to overcome this harm do not exist.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 21
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
