Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Downe Village Conservation Area, the setting of adjacent listed buildings, and non-designated heritage assets
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with a 33% increase in floorspace, would harm openness and the character and appearance of the conservation area and listed buildings, and no very special circumstances exist to clearly outweigh these harms.
