Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on wildlife and biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal qualifies as permitted development under the Green Belt exception for conversion of previously developed land, and the new vehicular access would improve highway safety whilst the loss of hedgerow and ecological impacts would be adequately mitigated by conditions.
