Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework having regard to the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Bromley, Hayes and Keston Common Conservation Area, its setting and the wider area that includes land within the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on ecology and biodiversity
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would not constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area while not unacceptably harming the living conditions of neighbours, thereby according with the development plan.
