Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Whether the development is in a suitable location
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, whether this would amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposals
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, given substantial weight under the Framework, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits of the development, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist.
The moderate benefits of affordable storage, local economic contribution and employment do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness.
