Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether or not the proposal would result in an unacceptable risk of flooding for future occupiers of the development
- whether or not the proposal would be acceptable in terms of foul water disposal
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal cannot be satisfactorily shown to be acceptable in terms of foul water treatment in proximity to the River Tyne, contrary to Local Plan Policy CS27, which outweighs the tourism and economic benefits that would otherwise justify very special circumstances.
