Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The living conditions of the future occupiers with regard to noise

What decided it

The substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupiers from aircraft noise exposure, which would be contrary to Policy EN11 and Framework paragraph 198, outweighs the moderate benefits of housing supply contribution.

The moderate benefits of housing supply contribution and efficient use of the site were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to living conditions from aircraft noise exposure
