Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
  • if the development is inappropriate development, the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would comply with national and local planning policy in respect of flood risk
  • whether the 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 proposed development

What decided it

The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with adverse effects on openness and unresolved flood risk concerns, and the benefits do not amount to very special circumstances to justify approval.
