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 openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • If it is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would result in significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance and would harm the character and appearance of a sensitive landscape area, and these harms were not outweighed by the moderate benefits of the scheme.
