Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the location of the site within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
- Whether the site represents an appropriate location for housing, having particular regard to access to facilities and services
- The effect upon the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether or not the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with harm to character and appearance within the AONB and limited sustainability of location, which could not be outweighed by the modest benefits of a single dwelling unit.
