Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effects of the proposed development on the Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The failure to secure appropriate mitigation for the Burnham Beeches SAC, combined with unacceptable harm to character and appearance, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh the identified harm.
The minimal contribution of one dwelling to housing supply and any economic benefits were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and the potential adverse effect on the integrity of the Burnham Beeches SAC without secured mitigation.
