Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would comprise grey belt land with particular reference to whether the effect of the proposed development on the Thames Estuary and Marshes Special Protection Area and Ramsar site provides a strong reason for refusing or restricting the proposed development
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The site comprises grey belt land and meets all criteria under paragraph 155 of the Framework, making the development not inappropriate in the Green Belt, with the Essex Coast RAMS mitigation payment ensuring no adverse effect on the SPA and Ramsar site.
Framework references: 143, 155, 110
Plan policies cited: Policy CSTP19 of the Thurrock Core Strategy and Policies for Management of Development (2015), Policy PMD6 of the Thurrock Core Strategy and Policies for Management of Development (2015)
