Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes limited infilling in a village within the Green Belt, meeting exception (e) of paragraph 154 of the Framework, and therefore is not inappropriate development.

Development plan policies: Policy G2 of the London Plan (2021)Policy DM10 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012)Policy DM5 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012)
