Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Totteridge Conservation Area
- The effect on protected trees
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness and failure to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify the development.
