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; including the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development regarding accessibility

What decided it

The substantial combined benefits of the proposal, particularly the contribution to housing land supply and self-build/custom housing need, substantially outweighed the limited harm from the site's inaccessible location, engaging the presumption in Policy S3.

the benefits of approving the proposed development substantially outweigh the adverse effect of the proposal, such that the presumption in favour within Policy S3 of the Framework would apply and the identified conflict with the development plan would be outweighed by the material considerations
