Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development on Metropolitan Open Land
  • The effect of the proposal on the purposes and openness of the Metropolitan Open Land
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including heritage assets
  • The effect of the proposal on flood risk and drainage
  • The effect of the proposal on fire safety
  • 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 needed to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal causes substantial harm to the openness of Metropolitan Open Land as inappropriate development, and fails to demonstrate compliance with fire safety requirements, and these harms are not clearly outweighed by other considerations to constitute very special circumstances.
