Why it was refused
- The application site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt wherein there is a general presumption against inappropriate development except in very special circumstances. The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt, which by definition is harmful. As well as causing harm to the Green Belt by virtue of its inappropriateness, other harm is caused to the Green Belt by way of a reduction in its openness and a conflict with its purposes. The NPPF sets out that substantial weight should be given to any harm to the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been advanced that clearly outweigh the harm that would be caused to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and a reduction in openness and a conflict with its purposes. As such the proposal is contrary to policy GB2 of the Chiltern District Local Plan (adopted September 1997) and section 13 (Protecting Green Belt Land) of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
