Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies, the provisions of the Framework and the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would not cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and therefore constitutes permitted redevelopment of previously developed land under paragraph 154(g) of the Framework, not inappropriate development.
Framework references: 154, 58
Plan policies cited: Policy 49 of the London Borough of Bromley Local Plan (2019), Policy G2 of the London Plan (2021)
