Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Whether the proposal is subject to biodiversity net gain requirements
What decided it
The proposal's failure to satisfy the statutory duty for biodiversity net gain, which constitutes a significant material consideration indicating a decision other than in accordance with the development plan, outweighs the benefits of the scheme under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the proposals, principally the failure to provide biodiversity net gain, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery and effective use of previously developed land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development would not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 49 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019Policy G2 of the London Plan 2021
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 110Paragraph 115Paragraph 143Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
