Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the development plan policy
  • The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness and character, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
