Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the appeal site is suitable for new visitor accommodation
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the development boundary for Cutnall Green conflicts with Policy SWDP 35 and the Council's spatial strategy for directing visitor accommodation towards built-up areas, and this significant harm outweighs the modest economic benefits.
