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
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
- whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no qualifying exception, and the modest benefits do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt required to establish very special circumstances.
the modest benefits of housing provision, economic benefits, and potential self-build use did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness
