Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- If inappropriate, the effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- If inappropriate, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the 'very special circumstances' necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight given to the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by the personal circumstances of the appellant or other considerations, such that very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
