Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt, and flood risk
  • If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt due to loss of openness from the extensive hard surfacing and engineering operations, and the failure to adequately demonstrate safe access and escape routes in a flood event, with insufficient other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
