Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on the setting of Stony Stratford Conservation Area
- the effect of the development on amenity open space
- whether the building works would represent sustainable construction
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the effect of the development on flooding
What decided it
The proposed parking area would harm the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the conservation area through an urbanising effect on the countryside, and this less than substantial harm could not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
