Why it was refused
- It is considered that the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the openness of the site and as a result would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt. No very special circumstances exist to clearly outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness and the other identified harm. As such, the proposal is contrary to Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy Policy CS3 and Reigate and Town Hall, Castlefield Road, Reigate, Surrey RH2 0SH Help Line 01737 276000 Banstead Development Management Plan Policies DES1 and NHE5 and the provisions of the NPPF (2024).
From the council's decision notice.
