Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- its effect on the openness 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development causing substantial harm to the Green Belt through disproportionate additions and reduction in openness, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, which were neutral or attracted only limited weight
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EE14
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
