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 it is inappropriate development, 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 circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The intensification of use from temporary to permanent residential occupation would result in a loss of openness and undermine Green Belt purposes, and the appellant's personal circumstances and other benefits do not amount to very special circumstances that clearly outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1 of the Doncaster Local Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
