Why it was refused
- The site is within the Green Belt, where there is a presumption against development. The development is not considered to meet any of the exceptions as set out within paragraphs 154 and 155 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024, Policy GB1 of the Council's Core Strategy (2012), and the Green Belt SPD. As such, the proposal is considered to be inappropriate development within the Green Belt. No considerations have been advanced that amount to the very special circumstances to clearly outweigh the harm the development would cause to the Green Belt, by reason of inappropriateness, and therefore does not comply with paragraph 153 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.
From the council's decision notice.
