Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the new bungalow, having regard to the privacy of the amenity space and front bedrooms
- the integrity of the Chilterns Beechwoods Area of Conservation
- the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers using Mill Close, having regard to parking and access arrangements
What decided it
The permanent and substantial harm to the living conditions of future residents through significant overlooking of the amenity space, combined with harm to the integrity of the Chilterns Beechwoods SAC, outweighed the modest contribution to housing supply.
The proposal's contribution to housing supply was outweighed by the permanent and substantial harm to the living conditions of future residents and harm to the integrity of the SAC, with no material considerations to outweigh these findings.
