Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in a Local Green Space having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the Local Green Space designation
- whether it would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area
- whether or not the 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 constitutes inappropriate development in a designated Local Green Space, and the benefits identified do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Local Green Space and character and appearance of the area, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
The significant weight given to self-build delivery and moderate weight to economic, social and environmental benefits did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Local Green Space, harm to character and appearance, and conflict with the development strategy, such that very special circumstances were not established.
