Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is grey belt land and whether the proposal would be inappropriate development having regard to relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness, and the benefits do not clearly outweigh this harm such that very special circumstances exist to justify it.
The benefits of providing nine dwellings do not clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt arising from inappropriateness and significant harm to openness, therefore very special circumstances do not exist.
