Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies including, where appropriate, its effect on openness
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties with regard to noise and disturbance
- If development is inappropriate, 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 proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness and would also cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents, with economic benefits insufficient to constitute very special circumstances.
