Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development 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 development on the character and appearance of the area, including the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise
  • the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking for maintenance vehicles
  • 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 benefits of the micro energy storage project to renewable energy generation, electricity storage capacity, and national net zero ambitions clearly outweigh the harm to Green Belt openness and constitute very special circumstances.
