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
  • its effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the heritage assets (Addington Palace Grade II* listed building, Addington Palace Registered Park and Garden, and Addington Village Conservation Area)
  • if it is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the Grade II* listed building and Registered Park and Garden were not outweighed by the limited public benefits, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated.
