Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed development on the vitality and viability of the town centre
  • The effect of the proposed development on ecological interests
  • If the proposed development is inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness and fails the sequential test for retail development, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify approval.
