- Whether the proposal would be acceptable infill or backland development
What decided it
The application of NPPF paragraph 14, which provides that where a neighbourhood plan is less than five years old and contains housing allocations, the adverse impact of allowing development that conflicts with the plan is likely to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of allowing development that conflicts with the recent Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan policies, applying NPPF paragraph 14.
