Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the appeal site is an acceptable location for waste management development, having regard to the Surrey Waste Local Plan 2019-2033
- The effect of the proposed development on local landscape character
- Whether any 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 development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to its openness, fail to accord with the plan-led approach to waste management development in the Surrey Waste Local Plan, and harm local landscape character, with no very special circumstances to justify the development.
