Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt both visually and spatially, and would not meet the exception at paragraph 154(g) of the Framework for redevelopment of previously developed land, and the resulting harm is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 11, 154
Plan policies cited: Policy H2, Policy P10, Policy P12, Policy N33, Policy GP5, Policy N37
