Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the green belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to trees
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
  • whether the site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to relevant policies for the location of housing and the Council's spatial strategy
  • 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which would cause substantial harm to openness and significant harm to character and appearance through tree loss, and these harms are not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing delivery and site suitability.

The benefits of housing delivery and site suitability (moderate weight) do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to Green Belt openness and significant harm to character and appearance through tree loss, and the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist.
