Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on the mature tree on the appeal site and protected species in the area
- the effect on flood risk in the locality
- whether the harm arising by reason of inappropriateness, together with any other identified harm, would be clearly outweighed by other material considerations to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt through its materially larger size and visual prominence, and this harm is not clearly outweighed by other material considerations to constitute very special circumstances.
