Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Mill Hill Conservation Area, including the loss of a locally listed building
  • the effect of the proposal on the character of the area with regard to the loss of protected trees
  • other considerations
  • whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and whether this would amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh these harms to demonstrate the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal.
