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 development on protected species
- the effect of the development on trees
- the effect of the development on flood risk
- highway safety with regard to access
What decided it
The proposed access would unacceptably harm highway safety due to insufficient visibility at the junction and lack of information to establish the number of movements required or demonstrate safe access could be provided.
