Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a residential development having regard to local and national planning policy for the delivery of housing
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
  • the effect of the proposed development on trees
  • the effect of the proposed development on protected species and biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan on multiple grounds—location contrary to Policy DM44, harm to character and appearance and the AONB contrary to Policies CP9, CP10, DM30, DM32 and DM35, harm to protected trees contrary to Policies CP10 and DM34, and failure to demonstrate biodiversity net gain contrary to Policies CP10, DM34, DM11, DM13 and DM14—with no material considerations outweighing this conflict.
