Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Would the proposed development provide a suitable site for housing, having regard to the proximity of services
  • The effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety
  • Whether sufficient evidence has been provided with regard to contaminated land
  • 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 is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, combined with unacceptable impacts on highway safety, unsustainable location, and unresolved contamination concerns, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
