Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt and whether very special circumstances exist to justify it
- Whether the development would conflict with the sustainable development strategy and harm to rural character
- Whether the development would cause material harm to the living conditions of neighbours through noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that reduces openness and conflicts with the sustainable development strategy, and the identified benefits and fallback position do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
