Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings with regard to noise and air quality
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the effect of the development on the setting of the grade II listed building, Warwicks
- would the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other consideration so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt through loss of openness and inappropriateness, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions and highway safety, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist.
