Why it was refused
- The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances. The development, by reason of its scale, form and siting, would result in a material loss of openness and would fail to preserve the openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated that clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, and any other harm arising from the proposal.
From the council's decision notice.
