Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the current National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether or not the proposed development would preserve the openness of the Green Belt or conflict with the purposes of including land within it
- Whether any 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 proposal
What decided it
The harm to Green Belt openness and conflict with Green Belt purposes, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the benefits of the EV charging facility, so very special circumstances do not exist.
