Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area, including the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with development plan policies requiring high quality design and conservation of the AONB's scenic beauty, and the identified harm outweighed the moderate benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of efficient land use and additional accommodation attracted only moderate weight and did not outweigh the identified harm to character, appearance and the AONB, to which great weight must be given.
