Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • if the proposal is inappropriate, 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 proposal

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness and conflict with Green Belt purposes, and the minor benefits do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
