Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the effect of the proposal on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
What decided it
The failure to provide mitigation for the significant adverse effect on the Thames Basin Heaths SPA, combined with the harm to character and appearance, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be justified.
the social and economic benefits of housing delivery and provision of suitable accommodation were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the unmitigated significant adverse effect on the Thames Basin Heaths SPA
