| 1. | The site is within the area identified in the Local Development Framework as Metropolitan Green Belt. Policy DC45 of the LDF and Government Guidance as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (Green Belts) states that in order to achieve the purposes of the Metropolitan Green Belt it is essential to retain and protect the existing rural character of the area so allocated and that new development will only be permitted outside the existing built up areas in the most exceptional circumstances. The development is inappropriate in principle in the Green Belt and no very special circumstances have been submitted in this case to outweigh the harm caused by reason of inappropriateness and visual harm to the character and openness of the Green Belt. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DC45 of the LDF Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document, as well as the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 2. | The proposed development, by reason of the bulk and size of the proposed dwelling, would result in a visually intrusive form of development, which is detrimental to the open character of the Green Belt at this point. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DC45 and DC68 of the LDF Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document, as well as the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 3. | In the absence of a legal agreement to secure contributions towards the demand for school places arising from the development, the proposal fails to satisfactorily mitigate the infrastructure impact of the development, contrary to the provisions of Policies DC29 and DC72 of the Development Control Policies DPD and Policy 8.2 of the London Plan. |
| 4. | Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: Consideration was given to seeking amendments, but given conflict with adopted planning policy, notification of intended refusal and the reasons for it was given to the agent Gerry Attoe, via email on 30/1/17. |
