Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on openness, having regard to the development plan and the Framework
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers with regards to noise
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 very special circumstances

What decided it

The enforcement notice was invalid due to fundamental defects in clarity and precision that could not be corrected without injustice; Appeal C was dismissed because the inappropriate Green Belt development and harm to living conditions from noise were not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
