Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the significance of the grade II listed Lower Warren Farmhouse having regard to its setting
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within which the site sits
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- If the proposal is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal's status as inappropriate Green Belt development causing substantial harm to openness, combined with harm to the listed building's setting, character and appearance of the AONB, and unacceptable highway safety impacts, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify approval.
