Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on designated and non-designated heritage assets and the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development, particularly in respect of external provision
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and AONB, and to the setting of the listed Church, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of housing and employment provision.
