Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development represents inappropriate development in the Metropolitan Open Land
- Whether it complies with development plan policy related to responding to the Climate Crisis
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the availability of on-street parking in the area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- If the development represents inappropriate development in the MOL, 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 development
What decided it
The open gym's adverse effect on the openness of the MOL, to which substantial weight must be given, was not clearly outweighed by the identified community and economic benefits, meaning very special circumstances did not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
