Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plans
- The effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- Is the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The developments constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness and conflicting with Green Belt purposes, with no very special circumstances to justify them.
The harm by reason of inappropriateness and additional harm to openness are not outweighed by the storage and recreational benefits claimed; very special circumstances do not exist.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S3 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme Local Plan 2011
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
