Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the grade II listed building 1-19 Hodge Lane
  • Whether any 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 very special circumstances needed to justify inappropriate development in the Green Belt have not been demonstrated, as the moderate weight of the security and privacy benefits and fallback position do not outweigh the substantial weight given to Green Belt harm and the moderate harm to character and appearance.
