Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the Chiltern Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the integrity of the Chiltern Beechwoods SAC by increasing residential population likely to utilise it for recreational purposes, and no mitigation through SAMMS or SANG had been secured.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the strong reason for refusal provided by the Framework's policies protecting habitat sites and the harm to the SAC's integrity.
Plan policies cited: Policy NE1 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (September 2021), Policy EN1 of the Aston Clinton Neighbourhood Plan (August 2018), Policy EN2 of the Aston Clinton Neighbourhood Plan (August 2018)
