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
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety with regard to visibility
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with regard to outlook and light
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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
Insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate that access arrangements could be put in place that would not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety with regard to visibility, particularly the visibility splay to the east.
