Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
  • whether or not the site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the risk of flooding
  • the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (TBSPA)

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, flood risk, and SPA mitigation—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
