Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjacent residents
- Whether any harm to the Green Belt 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 proposed developments
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm its openness, and the benefits do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to establish very special circumstances.
The benefits of the proposal would not clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, which is given substantial weight, and therefore do not represent the very special circumstances required
