Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary with regard to whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mill Hill Conservation Area
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness and the Conservation Area, and the other considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
