Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having particular regard to noise and outlook
  • The effect upon highway safety, having particular regard to vehicular visibility
  • The effect upon the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)

What decided it

The absence of an adopted mitigation strategy to address the effects of recreational pressure on the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation meant the development could not be demonstrated to avoid an adverse effect on the SAC's integrity.
