Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposed development would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness 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 applicant failed to demonstrate that the cumulative increase in volume would not exceed the 33% policy threshold, and the proposal would cause harmful loss of openness to the Green Belt that could not be clearly outweighed by the marginal design improvements over the fallback scheme.
