Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Little Mill East Peckham Conservation Area
- whether any harm to the Green Belt 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 be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and would fail to preserve the character of the Conservation Area, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
