Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing occupiers at no. 15A Wing Road, with regard to garden size
The effect of the development on pedestrian safety
The effect of the development on the integrity of the Chiltern Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposed development would result in an incongruously large and dominant form of development with design features at odds with the prevailing character of the area, causing serious and enduring harm that outweighed the modest housing benefits.

Framework references: 69, 180

Plan policies cited: Policy HQ1, Policy HQ8, Policy T2

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
