Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • 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 proposal would cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and conflict with its purposes, and the economic benefits claimed did not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 143, 147, 152, 153, 154, 155

Plan policies cited: Policy 3 of the Erewash Core Strategy, Policy GB1 of the Erewash Local Plan, Policy R11 of the Erewash Local Plan
