Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 14, 18, 35 and 37 Marsham Way and Nos 5, 7 and 9 Fulmer Way with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- the character and appearance of the area including the Gerrards Cross Centenary Conservation Area
What decided it
The combination of prejudicial effects on highway safety, unmitigated noise and disturbance to neighbouring living conditions, and less than substantial but uncompensated harm to the character and significance of the Conservation Area meant the public benefits could not outweigh the identified harms.
