Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt and effect on openness
- The effect of the development on flood risk
- The effect of the development on contamination
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and whether very special circumstances exist
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that harms openness and conflicts with Green Belt purposes, and the limited other considerations do not constitute very special circumstances to justify the proposal.
