Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies including the effect on openness
- whether the proposed development would deliver an appropriate mix of housing
- the effect of the proposed development on protected trees
- the effect of the proposed development on the Public Right of Way
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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 proposal's conflicts with development plan policies on housing mix, protected trees, and public rights of way, combined with limited social and economic benefits from a net gain of only two dwellings, result in harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits.
