- Martinson P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposed development would have an acceptable impact upon highway safety
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to Green Belt openness and would not fall within the exceptions in Framework paragraph 149, and this substantial harm could not be clearly outweighed by the minor benefits claimed.
Framework references: 149, 111
Plan policies cited: Policy GNE1, Policy BE5, paragraph 11.13 of the Calderdale Unitary Development Plan (2006)
