Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the effect on the Datchet Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset through development in it and the non-designated heritage asset known as 14 Priory Way
- whether the proposal would comply with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
What decided it
The cumulative scale and bulk of the proposed extensions would result in an overly dominant and disproportionate form of development that would harm the character and appearance of the area and cause less than substantial harm to the Datchet Conservation Area, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
