- whether the proposals represent suitable forms of development having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
What decided it
The significant harmful effect on the character and appearance of the Chilterns National Landscape from introducing remote, incongruous development in open agricultural land, combined with failure to accord with the Council's spatial strategy for countryside development under Policy DM44.
