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 biodiversity interests
- the effect of the proposal on land stability and soil resources
- 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
The development harmed biodiversity interests of a Local Wildlife Site and lacked adequate evidence of acceptable land stability and soil resource protection, conflicting with the development plan and Framework without very special circumstances to justify approval.
