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 proposed development on highway safety including service, delivery, and waste collection provision
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity and ecology
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness both visually and spatially, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts and inadequate servicing provision, which are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
