Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the location, land use and amount of development on the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
the effect of the location, land use and amount of development on the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
the effect of the location, land use and amount of development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The likely significant effects on the integrity of the Chilterns Beechwoods SAC from increased recreational pressure could not be adequately mitigated, resulting in conflict with Policy EE3 which outweighed the absence of harm in other respects.

Framework references: 149

Plan policies cited: Policy SP4, Policy EE3, Policy HQ1, Policy EE5, Policy SP2

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
