Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the relevant development plan policy
- 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 harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, to which substantial weight must be given, was not clearly outweighed by the moderate and limited benefits offered by the scheme.
the benefits of the footpath, school support, housing delivery and construction jobs did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PG3 of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy 2010-2030 [2017]Policy GC1 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan [2004]
