What decided it
The Council's decision to refuse the scheme was inevitable as the harm to designated heritage assets carried great weight and would not be outweighed by the identified public benefits regardless of their weighting.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GC2 of the Chiltern Local Plan Adopted 1 September 1997 (including alterations adopted 29 May 2001) Consolidated September 2007 & November 2011
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 125
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
