Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Kerridge Conservation 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
The harm to the Green Belt (by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness) and the harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area were not outweighed by the limited public benefits (economic and social benefits and improved housing stock), and very special circumstances did not exist.
