The proposed development of a redevelopment of existing commercial building to provide 30 dwellings, replacement D2 facility ( as extension to the existing clubhouse); and associated landscaping and carpark has been dismissed.
The main issues in this case are:
•Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework, relevant development plan policies and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt; and
• Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
