Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate within the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to its countryside location and the accessibility of services and facilities
- If the development is inappropriate, whether any harm to the Green Belt, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, including any need for the development and the personal circumstances of those living at the site, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The site qualifies as 'grey belt' land under Framework paragraph 155 because it does not strongly contribute to Green Belt purposes, and the development meets the requirements of paragraph 155(a), (b) and (c), rendering it not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
