Why it was refused

  1. The development is considered to constitute an inappropriate form of development within the Green Belt, which is harmful to the fundamental aims and purposes of Green Belt policy, which seeks to safeguard the countryside from encroachment to maintain the openness and permanence of the Green Belt. The substantial weight given to protecting the Green Belt from harm is not outweighed by any other matters, and thus the 'very special circumstances' required to allow the development do not exist. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies S 1 and EQ 4 of the High Peak Borough Council Local Plan (2016), and Part 13 (Protecting Green Belt land) of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024).
  2. The proposed development does not meet the exceptions criteria as identified by Policy EQ 3, and is therefore deemed to represent an inappropriate intrusion in to the open and undeveloped countryside, which would be harmful to the agrarian character of the area

From the council's decision notice.
