Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development in terms of green space and Local Green Space, with reference to local and national planning policies

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in Local Green Space that fails to preserve openness and does not represent an appropriate facility, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, character and appearance, and loss of local green space.
