Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Pinner Hill Estate Conservation Area and the Harrow Weald Ridge Area of Special Character
- If the proposal would constitute 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 allow the appeal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with disproportionate additions to the original building, and would harm the significance of the conservation area, with no very special circumstances to outweigh these harms.
