Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the NPPF 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 character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- The effect of the proposal on flood risk
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- Whether the proposal would adequately off-set carbon emissions
- 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 substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the cumulative harms to character and appearance, biodiversity, flood risk, highway safety, and carbon emissions are not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
