Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development 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 upon the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with regard to noise and disturbance
- 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 substantial weight given to Green Belt harm and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate very special circumstances.
Framework references: 81, 149, 150
