Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the setting of listed buildings and the Long Crendon Conservation Area
- biodiversity
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- surface water drainage
- housing mix
- affordable housing provision
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Long Crendon Conservation Area, which the Inspector found had no sufficient public benefits to outweigh it, combined with the failure to secure adequate biodiversity net gain mitigation.
The Inspector applied paragraph 202 of the Framework, finding that whilst the harm to the significance of the conservation area would be less than substantial, there were no public benefits sufficient to outweigh it, as the proposal was not found to be high-quality design.
