Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is inappropriate in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the development preserves the setting of a Grade II listed building
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of nearby residential properties in relation to noise and odour
  • if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The development causes significant harm to Green Belt openness and the setting of a listed building, with unresolved adverse noise impacts on neighbours, and these harms are not outweighed by the limited economic benefits advanced.
