Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies and linked to this, the effect of the development upon the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The modest scale and low-level nature of the car park extension, combined with its location central to existing golf club development and good screening by surrounding vegetation, means it preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with Green Belt purposes, making it appropriate development under NPPF paragraph 154b).
