Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • whether the development would affect the openness of the Green Belt
  • whether the development would affect the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the development would affect the Marsden Old Quarry Local Wildlife Site
  • 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 necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The significant adverse effects on character and appearance and harm to the Local Wildlife Site outweighed any potential benefits and justified dismissal of the appeal.
