Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
- The effects of the proposal on highway safety
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and the harm to highway safety and character and appearance would be sufficient to dismiss the appeal regardless of Green Belt harm.
