Land West of Hammersley Lane, Tylers Green, Bucks, HP10 8HF
Planning appeal 3377185 at Land West of Hammersley Lane, Tylers Green, Bucks, HP10 8HF (Buckinghamshire Council - Wycombe Area *) was dismissed on 11 June 2026 by Inspector O'Neill A, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the location, land use and amount of development is suitable with particular regard to whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location, land use and amount of development is suitable with particular regard to whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt because it fails to satisfy the requirement in paragraph 155(c) of the Framework that development be in a sustainable location with safe and suitable access to services and facilities via sustainable transport modes, and the harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, to which substantial weight must be attached, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight given to housing supply contribution and economic benefits, therefore very special circumstances do not exist
