Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the Framework, including the effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would have a greater effect on the openness of the Green Belt, particularly in visual terms, by relocating development to a more visible location, and the material considerations in support do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of housing delivery, modest sustainable location benefits, limited economic benefits, and uncertain woodland provision, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Saved Policy GE1 of the Halton Unitary Development Plan (April 2005)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
