Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of the land by reason of contamination, noise pollution and air quality
What decided it
The proposal preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with the purposes of including land within it, as it involves no buildings or structures and maintains visual and physical association with the existing dwelling rather than encroaching into open countryside.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 49 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 138Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
