Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt 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 the proposal
What decided it
The significant harm to the openness of the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits to the adjacent businesses, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and significant harm to openness, to which substantial weight must be given, was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight of benefits to the adjacent solar park and recycling facility operations
