Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on trees
- Whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of dwelling types and sizes
What decided it
The failure to secure formal confirmation that appropriate SANG mitigation measures would be in place prior to occupation meant the proposal could not be approved under the Habitats Regulations, as adverse effects on the SPA's integrity could not be excluded.
