Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties having regard to noise and disturbance and outlook
- whether the 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness, and the economic and employment benefits, while significant, do not collectively clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
Framework references: 150, 81
