Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be 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 Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.

- Policy PG3 of the Cheshire East Local Plan StrategyPolicy GC12 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan
