Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal development would be inappropriate development for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and Development Plan Policy
  • If found to be 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 the development

What decided it

The proposal complies with paragraph 154(g) of the Framework as redevelopment of previously developed land that would not result in substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt.

Framework references: 145, 154

Plan policies cited: Policy GBR1, Policy DES4, Policy WAT4, Policy CC1, Policy CC2
