Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, including the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on designated heritage assets with particular regard to the Denham Village Conservation Area and nearby Grade II listed buildings
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by being materially larger than the building it replaces and having a greater impact on openness, and this substantial harm to the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by other considerations to amount to very special circumstances.
