Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The application proposal is not for agriculture, horticulture or animal-related businesses, or
appropriate facilities for outdoor sport and recreation and cemeteries, but is to provide residential
accommodation, and is therefore inappropriate development within the Green Belt, failing to
preserve the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy G2 of the
London Plan 2021 and policy 24 of the Sutton Local Plan and unacceptable in principle in land use
terms.
2
The application site is not a suitable site for residential intensification and is not within the described
catchment for intensification or a suitable distance to existing public transport or town centres. The
proposal would fail to respect the protected Metropolitan Green Belt setting and local
distinctiveness, this is especially pertinent when there are other targeted areas within the borough
that can accommodate better designed housing. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies D3,
H1 and H2 of the London Plan 2021 and policies 1 and 24 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
3
The proposed development would result in an unsympathetic, constricted and truncated plot that is
out of character with the surrounding area. It is considered that the design of the proposal is
therefore unacceptable in principle and would cause harm to the character of the area and the
proposal is contrary to policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, policy 28 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018
and Supplementary Planning Document 14: Creating Locally Distinctive Places 'Urban Design'.
