Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Whether the proposed development would secure suitable avoidance and mitigation measures in respect of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area
What decided it
The absence of a completed planning obligation to secure suitable avoidance and mitigation measures for the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area rendered the proposal unacceptable and contrary to the development plan and Framework.
The benefits of providing an additional residential unit in an accessible location were outweighed by the conflict with development plan policies protecting the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area, which was not subject to the tilted balance under Footnote 7 to paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework.
Framework references: 11, 116, 192, 195
