Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt and on the character and appearance of the area
- if the development would be inappropriate, 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The harm to Green Belt openness and the moderate adverse effect on the character and appearance of the Area of Great Landscape Value, combined with the development's inappropriateness, were not outweighed by the minor noise benefits, such that no very special circumstances existed to justify the development.
