Solinger Farm, Little Hampden, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, HP16 9PT — Buckinghamshire Council - Wycombe Area * — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K0425/W/23/3325714 3. Accordingly, there is no dispute between the two main parties, such that there are no main issues for consideration. Neither are there any representations from interested parties to consider. 4. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) was updated in December 2023, during the consideration of the appeal. There have been no substantive changes to the paragraphs relevant to the issues raised by this appeal. Conditions 5. The Council have provided some suggested conditions which I have considered against advice in the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance. I have attached the standard time limit condition (1) and a plans condition (2) as this provides certainty. Condition 3 is necessary to require that the materials to be used would match those of the existing dwelling. I do not find that a condition requiring the Council’s agreement to the precise colour of the finish of the aluminium powder coating would be necessary given the secluded location of the site. 6.

Solinger Farm, Little Hampden, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, HP16 9PT — Buckinghamshire Council - Wycombe Area * — Appeal Decision I have attached a condition (4) drafted in line with the Council’s suggestion of securing biodiversity enhancements given that Policy DM34 of the Wycombe District Local Plan 2019 requires all development to protect and enhance biodiversity. Given the small scale of the proposals, measures could include a bird or bat box as suggested by the Council. Conclusion 7. Having no reasons to dispute the position of the Council, I conclude that the appeal should be allowed.
