Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including any effect on openness, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on highway safety
  • the effect of the development on biodiversity
  • 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 substantial weight given to inappropriate development harm to the Green Belt and reduction of openness, combined with significant unacceptable highway safety impacts, could not be outweighed by the moderate benefits of community recreation and allotment use.
