Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is grey belt land and whether the appeal scheme is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- whether the location of the appeal scheme is acceptable having regard to its accessibility by sustainable transport modes
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the appeal scheme
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt through loss of openness and conflict with Green Belt purposes attracts substantial weight and is not clearly outweighed by the moderate economic benefits and modest landscape and biodiversity enhancements, so very special circumstances do not exist.
