Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework including, where appropriate, its effect on openness
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Esholt Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Holme House
- If the development is inappropriate, whether any 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the less than substantial but material harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and listed building setting, taken together, are not clearly outweighed by the modest public benefits, meaning very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
