Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with particular regard to the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
If the proposal is 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 justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would result in a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, constituting inappropriate development for which very special circumstances do not exist.

Development plan policies: Policy G2 of the London Plan 2021Policy DMEI4 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part 2 Development Management Policies (2020)
