Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development within the Green Belt
- Whether there would be any other harm to 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 necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal qualifies as partial redevelopment of previously developed land under paragraph 154g of the NPPF and would not cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt, thereby satisfying the Green Belt requirements without requiring very special circumstances.
Framework references: 154c, 154g
Plan policies cited: Policy CS 4, Policy SP 2, Green Belt Guidance 1, Green Belt Guidance 2, Green Belt Guidance 6, SPD 3: Development in the Green Belt
