Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024) and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the appeal scheme on highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The real risk of harm to highway and pedestrian safety arising from conflicts between car wash users and football pitch users, combined with failure to demonstrate safe access to the site, outweighed the scheme's benefits and rendered it contrary to development plan policy.
