- The effect of the proposal on the North Meadow and Clattinger Farm Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Ampney Crucis Conservation Area, which was less than substantial but of considerable importance, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposal.
