Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on Cross Lane Meadow Local Wildlife Site
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The hardstanding constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to preserve openness, and combined with harm to the Local Wildlife Site, no very special circumstances exist to justify the development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS4Policy CS20Policy SP10Policy SP33Policy SP34
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
