Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The harm arising from inappropriate development and additional harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the fallback position or other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist.

The fallback position and other identified benefits did not clearly outweigh the substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt and harm to openness, so very special circumstances were not established
