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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy G2 of the London PlanPolicy GB1 of the Local Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 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.
