Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal to vary condition 2 would result in a development which would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect that the proposal to vary condition 2 would have on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • The effect that the proposal to vary condition 2 would have on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect that the proposal to vary condition 2 would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of Hollywell Reins, in respect of outlook and privacy, and of the occupiers of 6 Woolsington Park South, in respect of outlook only
  • 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 would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
