Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing with particular regard for the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would introduce a harmfully urbanising form to an undeveloped site which currently contributes positively to the distinct character of the local countryside, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework.
The limited benefits of two dwellings to housing supply, self-build provision, and biodiversity gains were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance and encroachment into countryside.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GP35 of the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan Written Statement Part 1 January 2004ACNP Policy H1ACNP Policy HQD1
