Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • if the development is inappropriate development, whether the 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 fallback position of permitted development rights for similar structures, combined with highway safety benefits, clearly outweighed the harm to Green Belt openness and inappropriateness.

Framework references: 149, 150

Plan policies cited: Policy 3 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan (2014), Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan (2014)
