Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect on the setting of Grade II* listed Hunton Park Hotel
  • whether the harm by inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The harm to the openness of the Green Belt and the setting of the Grade II* listed building, combined with the absence of very special circumstances, outweighed the public benefits of the sustainable transport infrastructure.
