Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the use of the track would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the openness of the Green Belt through a material change in use that would not fall within the exceptions in paragraph 154 of the Framework, and no very special circumstances existed to justify the inappropriate development.
