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
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to noise and disturbance
- on the basis that the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing lawful development, constituting inappropriate development, and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate acceptable noise impacts on neighbouring properties, with these harms not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
