Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area, including the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining property known as Mon Abri, having specific regard to privacy and overlooking
- protected species, specifically bats
What decided it
The proposal would cause permanent harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area, introduce overlooking and privacy harm to neighbours, and fail to demonstrate absence of harm to protected species, with no sound justification to grant permission contrary to the development plan.
