Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the development on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area
What decided it
The absence of a completed planning obligation securing mitigation for the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area, combined with the adverse effect on character and appearance, meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan.
