Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not 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 and purposes of the Green Belt
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mill Hill Conservation Area, and the effect on the significance of a locally listed building
- Whether or not 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 would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and cause material harm to the significance of a locally listed building and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to clearly outweigh these harms and establish very special circumstances.
