- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including both the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the adjacent Greys Green Conservation Area
What decided it
The appeal site's modest contribution to the CA setting combined with the proposal's status as infill development that would not be prominent in the landscape and would be screened by existing vegetation and built form meant the development would not harm character and appearance or conflict with development plan policies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV8Policy DES1Policy DES2Policy ENV1Policy ENV6Policy H16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 194
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.
