Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the 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 development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, particularly given the limited weight afforded to the fallback position due to the absence of a planning obligation preventing dual implementation.
