Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies together with the effect on the character and appearance of the countryside
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Coroville with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with significant harm to openness and living conditions, and the other considerations including the fallback position do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
