Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the TBHSPA
  • whether or not it has been demonstrated that there is an essential need for a dwelling to accommodate a rural worker at the appeal site

What decided it

It had not been demonstrated that the proposed development would not adversely affect the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths SPA, as the SANG mitigation relied upon in the Unilateral Undertaking was not adequately secured.

the demonstrated essential need for a rural worker's dwelling did not outweigh the unresolved uncertainty over whether the proposal would adversely affect the TBHSPA, and the appeal was dismissed on that basis
