Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development 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 living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings with particular reference to noise and disturbance
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 parking area would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to preserve openness, and the proposal would cause unmitigated harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify approval.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 143Paragraph 152Paragraph 153Paragraph 155
