Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, and their effects on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the developments are inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the developments
What decided it
The proposed engineering operations would preserve the openness of the Green Belt and would not conflict with the purposes of including land within it, and therefore do not constitute inappropriate development under Framework paragraph 154.
