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 host building and the area, having particular regard to its location within the Hillingdon Village Conservation Area
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposed development

What decided it

The substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriate development and the considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area were not clearly outweighed by the limited public benefits, and no very special circumstances existed to justify the proposal.

The substantial weight given to Green Belt harm (inappropriateness and loss of openness) and the considerable weight given to heritage harm to the conservation area were not outweighed by the modest economic benefits and private accommodation gains, resulting in dismissal.
