Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be acceptable in principle, with particular regard to the location of the appeal site
The effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)

What decided it

The appeal site's suburban character and position entirely surrounded by built development, combined with the securing of adequate SPA mitigation measures, justified allowing the appeal despite the conflict with Policy NBE1.

The conflict with Policy NBE1 was outweighed by the changed circumstances of the appeal site, its suburban context, and the satisfactory mitigation of SPA impacts, such that planning permission should not be withheld in this particular instance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy NBE1Policy NBE3Policy NBE4Policy NBE5Policy NRM6
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 54
