Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The adverse impacts on the character and appearance of the area, caused by the building's projection beyond the established building line and disruption of the regular spacing of dwellings, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a situation of housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery, to which significant weight was attached, were outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance; the provision of one additional unit would make little difference to housing supply and the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very modest benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GC1 of the Chiltern District Local Plan Adopted 1 September 1997 (Including alterations adopted 29 May 2001) Consolidated September 2007Policy CS20 of the Core Strategy for Chiltern District adopted November 2011
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 74Paragraph 130
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.
