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 character and appearance of the area
  • 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 cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness through the bulk, massing and visibility of a two-storey dwelling, which is not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of housing supply and the fallback position of a smaller permitted dwelling.
