Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The proposal met the Green Belt exception in paragraph 145(g) of the Framework because it would not have a greater impact on openness than the existing development, and the Section 106 contribution would adequately mitigate effects on the Burnham Beeches SAC.
