Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and the development plan
  • the effect of the proposed development on openness
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to Appeal D
  • the effect of the proposed development on protected trees, with particular regard to Appeals C and D
  • if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether 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 proposed development would have a substantive detrimental effect on the openness of the Green Belt, and the economic and social benefits did not clearly outweigh the substantial weight given to Green Belt harm, such that very special circumstances did not exist.

The benefits of tourism, economic support to local businesses, and job creation were outweighed by the substantial harm to Green Belt openness and conflict with Green Belt purposes.
