Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme is inappropriate development in the green belt having regard to the revised framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of nearby occupants, with particular reference to noise
- 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 required to justify the appeal scheme
What decided it
The combination of inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to preserve openness and significant adverse noise impacts on nearby residential amenity, with insufficient other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
