Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt by way of
harming its openness and its fundamental purpose of preventing urban sprawl. The proposed
development does not meet any of the exceptions tests set out in Paragraph 154 of the National
Planning Policy Framework 2024 and does not meet all of the tests in Paragraph 155 of the same
document. The proposed development is therefore contrary to the provisions of the National
Planning Policy Framework 2024, Planning for traveller sites (December 2024) and Policy 12 of the
Sutton Local Plan 2018.
2
In the absence of a sustainable drainage (SuDS) strategy it has not been demonstrated that the
proposed development applies the Mayor's drainage hierarchy set out under Polocy SI 13 of the
London Plan 2021 and meets the Council's minimum SuDS performance standards set out under
Policy 32 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
