Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the development plan
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade I (Jesus Hospital) and Grade II (The Crown) listed buildings and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Bray Village Conservation Area
- Whether any harm by way of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and, if so, whether there exist very special circumstances that justify the development
What decided it
The public benefits of maintaining business viability, protecting employment, and ensuring the continued use of the listed building as a public house outweighed the less than substantial harm to the setting of The Crown.
