What decided it

Completion of a S106 obligation securing SANG and SAMM mitigation resolved the only outstanding concern regarding likely significant effects on the Thames Basin Heaths SPA.

No conflicting harms were identified; the proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole with no other material considerations indicating a decision otherwise.

Plan policies cited: Policy H4 of the Hart Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2032, Policy INF3 of the Local Plan, Saved Policy GEN1 (vii)(viii) of the Hart Local Plan (Replacement) 1996-2006, Policy H2 of the Local Plan

- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
