Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, taking into account the effect on openness and the purposes of including land within the Green Belt
- its effect on the rural character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would protect or enhance biodiversity
What decided it
The absence of convincing evidence that the proposal would protect or enhance biodiversity, contrary to policies 61 and 69 of the Bromley Local Plan, outweighed the findings that the development would not be inappropriate in the Green Belt and would not harm rural character and appearance.
Framework references: 149, 149b, 149c
