Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the Framework having regard to the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of nearby heritage assets
- The effect of the proposal on the natural environment
- If the proposal 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 it
What decided it
The proposal represents partial redevelopment of previously developed land that would not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than existing development, in accordance with NPPF paragraph 149(g), and would have beneficial impacts on heritage assets and the natural environment.
