Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the development provides occupants with satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight, noise and disturbance, accessibility and cycle storage
  • Whether occupation of the development is safe having particular regard to the risk of flooding
  • The effect of the development on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)

What decided it

The development's adverse effect on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths SPA, with no adequate mitigation measures legally secured, is determinative and justifies dismissal irrespective of other considerations.
