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 and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on openness
- 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 development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate economic benefits and other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
Framework references: 153, 154, 155
