Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and 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, including the likely long term effect on protected trees
  • 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 is harmful by definition, and the benefits cited do not clearly outweigh this harm and other identified harms, so very special circumstances do not exist.
