It was moved by Councillor Sowerby and seconded by Councillor Cornelius that the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

The proposed development of two residential dwellings in comparison to the existing buildings to be demolished on site  would constitute an inappropriate form of development which would harm the openness of and intrude into the rural character of the Green Belt. No case for very special circumstances has been demonstrated to outweigh the harm caused to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness. The proposed development would have an unacceptable impact on the aims and purpose of the Green Belt, contrary to Policies CS NPPF, CS1 and CS7 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (September 2012), Policy DM15 of the Local Plan Development Management Policies DPD (September 2012), Policy 7.16 of The London Plan 2016 and paragraphs 87 and 90 of the National Planning Policy Framework Published 2012.
