Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The considerable socio-economic benefits arising from job creation (12 additional jobs, triple the previous scheme) and support for local economic growth clearly outweighed the limited and localised harm to Green Belt openness, establishing very special circumstances.
