Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, in relation to whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the location is suitable for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area, and access to public transport, services and facilities
- whether any harm by reasons 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 proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm from inappropriate development and harm to openness, combined with significant weight to the unsuitability of the location for housing, were not clearly outweighed by the modest weight of other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist.
the substantial weight to Green Belt harm by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness, together with significant weight to the unsuitability of location for housing, were not clearly outweighed by other considerations including self-build aspirations and modest housing supply benefits
