Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the setting of the Peak District National Park
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The cumulative harm to the Green Belt (inappropriate development affecting openness and purpose), harm to the Peak District National Park setting (due to inadequate landscaping details), and unresolved noise impacts were not clearly outweighed by the renewable energy and farm diversification benefits, such that very special circumstances could not be demonstrated.
