Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal

What decided it

The significant weight given to renewable energy benefits and the contribution to net zero emissions, combined with limited harm to openness and biodiversity benefits, clearly outweighed the Green Belt harm and established very special circumstances.
