Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal scheme amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies, the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework and the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect on the landscape character of the area
  • Whether the appeal scheme satisfactorily addresses the risk of land instability from past coal mining activity in the area
  • The effect on biodiversity
  • If the appeal scheme amounts to inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The appeal scheme fails to preserve the openness of the Green Belt by extending the spread of development across the site without justification for an increased need, and no other considerations clearly outweigh this substantial harm to warrant very special circumstances.
