Why it was refused
- The proposal is 'inappropriate' development within the Green Belt and the impact on Green Belt openness is significant which is given substantial weight. The application site contributes positively to the West Midlands Green Belt and this development does not form an exception to inappropriate development within the Green Belt in the form of exceptions set out within paragraph 154 of the NPPF or the grey belt determination in paragraph 155. Very special circumstances do not exist as the benefits of the scheme in delivering 9 dwellings is a small contribution which does not clearly outweigh the harm, by way of impact on the Green Belt and the unsustainable location. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy policy GB1, Section 13 and paragraph 11d of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
