Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the notice is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework (Framework)
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The mesh silo was found not to be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and not to cause harm to the character and appearance of the area, so it accorded with the development plan and permission was granted.
the proposal accorded with the development plan and no material considerations of sufficient weight indicated otherwise, with the benefits of Digestate use and local support further weighing in favour of granting permission
