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 surrounding area
- whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would be acceptable having regard to its effect on protected species and biodiversity
- 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 absence of robust, current ecological evidence demonstrating that the proposal would be acceptable with respect to protected species and biodiversity, contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.
Framework references: 154
Plan policies cited: Policy DM42, Policy CP8, Policy CP9, Policy DM30, Policy DM32, Policy DM35, Policy DM13, Policy DM14, Policy DM34
