Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • Whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm resulting from the inappropriate development, to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet the relevant exception in the Framework for extensions in the Green Belt and constitutes inappropriate development that harms openness, with no very special circumstances to justify it.

What the Inspector cited
