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 any relevant development plan policies and the effect it has upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstance necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, combined with the site's location in grey belt land with a semi-enclosed character that would not fundamentally undermine the purposes of the remaining Green Belt, meant the proposal complied with Framework Paragraph 155 and was not inappropriate development.
