Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt

What decided it

The on-the-ground circumstances have changed since the previous appeal decision, with the Storeton Hall development now constructed, creating a continuous residential frontage along Lever Causeway that brings the appeal site within the village of Storeton and qualifies it as limited infilling under paragraph 149(e) of the Framework.
