Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
whether the 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 development

What decided it

The prevention of unacceptable highway safety impacts from indiscriminate parking on the A616 if the appeal site remained free while nearby Langsett Barn car park introduced charges constituted very special circumstances that clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy GB1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 149
