The as built outbuilding would by reason of its scale, mass, design, materials and siting located within the Green Belt 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 proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the aims and purpose of the Green Belt. Furthermore, the proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural and historical interest of this Grade II listed building. The proposal would result in substantial harm to the overall significance, character and coherent appearance of the Grade II listed building and its setting and detrimental to the character and appearance and visual amenity of the host site and the surrounding Mill Hill Conservation Area. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policies CS1 and CS7 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (September 2012), Policy DM01, DM06 and DM15 of the Local Plan Development Management Policies DPD (September 2012), Policy G2 of The London Plan 2021 and paragraphs 142-154 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
