Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Would harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal accords with NPPF Paragraph 150(d) as reuse of a permanent and substantial building that preserves openness and does not conflict with Green Belt purposes, outweighing the conflict with the more restrictive Local Plan Policy 24.
Framework references: 147, 150, 138
Plan policies cited: Policy 24 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018, Policy G2 of the London Plan 2021
