Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and the effect of the appeal development on the openness of the Green Belt and purposes of including land within it
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- If the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal preserves the openness of the Green Belt and would not conflict with the purposes of including land within it, and with appropriate conditions and mitigation measures, noise and disturbance impacts on neighbouring residents would be adequately controlled.
