The proposed development of outline planning application for the demolition of buildings and provision of up to 17 residential self-build plots has been dismissed.
The main issues are;
•Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt;
•The effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt;
•Whether the surface water drainage arrangements are acceptable;
•Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing;
•If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the 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 necessary to justify it?
