Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the effect of the development on ecology
- the effect of the development on land stability
- 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 would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness, would fail to provide safe and suitable access due to inadequate visibility splays, and would lack necessary ecological and land stability assessments, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify approval.
