Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies and its effect on openness
- whether the character or appearance of the Rawdon – Cragg Wood Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
- whether any 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 proposal
What decided it
The harm to the designated heritage asset of the Conservation Area, which carries significant weight and is not outweighed by any public benefits, makes the proposal unacceptable despite the absence of Green Belt harm.
