Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021) and the development plan, including the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- If the appeal development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate harm to openness in both spatial and visual terms, and would cause harm to highway safety, with the identified benefits not clearly outweighing these harms to justify very special circumstances.
