®Planning appeal decision
Land at Oaktree Close, Bearley, CV37 0SD
Planning appeal 6013252 at Land at Oaktree Close, Bearley, CV37 0SD (Stratford-on-Avon) was dismissed on 29 October 2026, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular regard to: whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies; the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on the Bearley Conservation Area and Bearley Manor and Barn Adjoining; whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to relevant development plan policies concerning residential development; and if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development 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.
