Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the NPPF and development plan policy
- 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 traffic and highway safety
- the effect of the proposal on ecological interests
- 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness, character and appearance, highway safety, and potentially ecological interests, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify it.
