Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is inappropriate or not inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan policy
  • The effect on openness
  • The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
  • Whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The exceptional and unique personal circumstances of the appellant and family, particularly the interests of the four adopted children requiring additional accommodation, combined with the minimal effect on Green Belt openness, were found to constitute very special circumstances that clearly outweighed the harm from inappropriate development.
