Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development 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 proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The proposed development fails to accord with criterion (c) of paragraph 155 of the Framework as it would not be in a sustainable location, and the resulting substantial harm to the Green Belt is not outweighed by other considerations.
The moderate benefits of self-build housing delivery and associated social and economic benefits do not outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt and the failure to accord with the sustainability requirements of the Framework.

- Development plan policies
- Policy QP5
