Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regards to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The appeal site, no longer associated with any specific dwelling and having frontage onto Palewell Common Drive, is suitable for residential development as a single dwelling would not be inherently harmful to character and appearance and would not compromise the openness of the adjacent Metropolitan Open Land.
