Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers with regard to noise
- Whether any harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to harm to the Green Belt from inappropriate development was not clearly outweighed by other considerations including unmet pitch need and personal circumstances, failing to establish the very special circumstances required by PPTS.
