Developer had lodged appeal against refusal decision

- Sentinel Reporter

A PLANNING inspector has thrown out proposals for a new drive-thru restaurant and electric vehicle charging hub in the Green Belt.

Stafford Borough Council planning officers rejected the application for land off the A34 opposite the George and Dragon pub at Meaford last year, saying the development would have resulted in 'significant urban encroachment into a continuous green space'.

More than 30 electric vehicle charging bays were proposed alongside a restaurant and picnic area.

But the authority said the requirement for an EV charging hub of the scale proposed in the Green Belt location 'has not been adequately demonstrated.

More than 160 people objected to the application and members of Stone Town Council also spoke out against it.
