Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether there would be an overbearing effect on the occupiers of 31 Penn Meadow
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on highway safety from inadequate access and parking arrangements, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing provision when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The substantial harm to highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and economic contributions, even under the tilted balance triggered by the lack of five-year housing land supply.
