Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • The effect of the proposal on the supply of employment land in the District
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Area of Great Landscape Value
  • The effect of the proposal on land and groundwater contamination
  • The effect of the proposal on ecology, including protected species
  • Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for parking spaces and cycle storage
  • If it is inappropriate development, 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with a greater impact on openness than the existing development, and the harms to the Green Belt, character and appearance, and employment land are not clearly outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery in the absence of a five-year supply.

The benefits of housing delivery and construction employment were outweighed by the substantial harms to Green Belt openness, character and appearance, and the loss of employment land, with no very special circumstances established to justify inappropriate development
