Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the existing occupants of 333 and 335 Bath Road in regard to privacy
- whether the proposal provides satisfactory living conditions for future residents, in regard to noise from Bath Road
- the effect of the proposal on the Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and whether the development can deliver net gains in biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area through its excessive height and scale, which substantially outweighs the moderate benefits of housing provision and economic growth when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
Framework references: 11, 124, 12
