Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the suitability of the site as a location for the proposed development
  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development upon the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • if the development is inappropriate, 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

What decided it

The substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt's openness and inappropriateness, which was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme, meant very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness, together with moderate adverse effects on character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by the limited economic and waste processing benefits, so very special circumstances did not exist.
