Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The social, economic and environmental benefits of the scheme, combined with its compatibility with the existing commercial and urban character of the area, clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, thereby establishing very special circumstances to justify the development.

Framework references: 147, 148, 149, 150

Plan policies cited: Policy G2 of the London Plan, Policy GB1 of the Local Plan
