Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal schemes would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the appeal schemes on flood risk
  • the effect of the appeal schemes on protected species
  • whether the appeal schemes comply with the adopted policies relating to climate change
  • whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The proposals constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing significant harm to openness, and the cumulative harms regarding flood risk, protected species and climate change, combined with limited benefits, do not amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development.
