The proposed development of five apartments in a single block, incorporating three floors over a semi-basement parking level has been dismissed.
- The main issues are:
- (i) Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) and any relevant development plan policies.
- (ii) The effect on the openness of the Green Belt.
- (iii) The effect of the proposal on biodiversity.
- (iv) Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bramcote Conservation Area and preserve the setting of listed buildings.
- (v) The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the locally designated landscape.
- (vi) If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm 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 the development.
