Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
  • the effect of the proposed development on reptiles
  • 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 development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing significant harm to openness, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
