Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The development's effect on highway safety
  • Its effect on biodiversity
  • Whether there is a need for the development
  • Whether the development is in a suitable location in light of the policies of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2021 (the LP), the Framework, the PPTS and accessibility to services
  • Drainage and flood matters
  • Whether the benefits of the scheme outweigh the harm caused so as to justify granting planning permission

What decided it

the highly significant benefits of meeting general and personal Gypsy and Traveller accommodation need were outweighed by the considerable harm to highway safety and biodiversity, which were the overriding factors
