Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- If the proposal is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the harm from inappropriate development in the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced, so very special circumstances did not exist.
the substantial harm from inappropriate development in the Green Belt, together with the modest harm to openness, was not clearly outweighed by the only moderate weight afforded to the other considerations (economic benefits, fallback position, biodiversity net gain, community benefit), so very special circumstances were not made out
