Planning appeal 3266552 at Old Oak House, 23B Old End, Padbury , MK18 2BE (Buckinghamshire Council - Aylesbury Area *) was allowed in part (a split decision) on 28 February 2023 by Inspector Perkins L, by written representations.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Padbury Conservation Area and the setting of the listed buildings at Nos 23, 24 and 25 Old End
- the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking for the occupants of No 2 Arnolds Close
- whether there are any other material considerations, including any fallback position, which indicate that planning permission should be granted
What decided it
The real prospect that a worse fallback position involving greater site coverage and more cramped development would be built under permitted development rights if planning permission was refused, which would cause greater harm to character and appearance than the appeal development.
