Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be 'inappropriate development' in the Green Belt and the effect on its openness
  • The effect of the proposed conversion on the character and appearance of the existing building and its setting in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
  • Whether the proposed flats would have adequate parking provision
  • Whether the proposed development would increase the risk of flooding by surface water
  • Whether the proposal would result in the loss of an employment site in the context of Policy E2 of the Council's Local Plan (VALP)
  • The effect on the Chiltern Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation

What decided it

The likely significant adverse effect on the integrity of the Chiltern Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation, with no certainty that mitigation could be achieved through available planning mechanisms, rendered the development unacceptable under the Habitats Regulations 2017.
