Procedure: Written Representations
Development: leisure-sport · Other minor developments
Inspector: Thompson P
Postcode: SL9 0QP

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
if the development is inappropriate within the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The harm to the openness of the Green Belt, both visual and spatial, could not be clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist to justify the inappropriate development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy GB2Policy R13
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 137Paragraph 138Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
