Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies.
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.

What decided it

The proposal did not cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and was therefore not inappropriate development, removing the need to demonstrate very special circumstances.

the proposal's compliance with Framework paragraph 154(g) outweighed its conflict with the more restrictive Policy DP13(G), and with no other harm identified the appeal was allowed without the need to weigh benefits against Green Belt harm
