Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- 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 necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to Green Belt openness by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances were not demonstrated.
Framework references: 154, 144
