Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

- The effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
What decided it
The absence of secured mechanisms to address parking demand, public open space infrastructure, and Thames Basin Heaths SPA mitigation measures meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh the harm.

- Policy IN2Policy DE6Policy DE7Policy NRM6Policy NE1
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.
