Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, having particular regard to internal living arrangements
- The effect upon the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with unacceptable internal living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefit of delivering a single additional housing unit.
The significant harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefit of housing delivery and limited benefits of economic support, even under the tilted balance.
