Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies, including the effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the special interest of the Chislehurst Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Building of Cookham Dene
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the appeal scheme
What decided it
The proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to meet the very special circumstances test, and causes less than substantial harm to heritage assets that cannot be justified by the private benefits advanced.
