Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to local and national policies
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by the other considerations identified, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by the limited to moderate weight of the community benefits of the ambulance service

- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1Policy GB1(g)
