Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bromley, Hayes and Keston Commons Conservation Area
What decided it
The material change of use is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt under NPPF paragraph 155, and although it conflicts with the out-of-date Local Plan Policy 49, the Framework is afforded significant weight and the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
No adverse impacts from granting permission significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of an enlarged garden when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
Framework references: 155, 152, 143
Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy G2, Local Plan Policy 49, Local Plan Policy 41, London Plan Policy HC1
