Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the Framework 2026 including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is found to be 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 development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt resulting in moderate harm to its openness, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify approval on the basis of very special circumstances.
the harm to the openness of the Green Belt outweighed the benefit to the appellant in providing additional accommodation for multi-generational living
