Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would fundamentally undermine the levels of biodiversity secured under the existing planning permission

What decided it

The proposal would not fundamentally undermine the levels of biodiversity previously secured on the site because the overall planting numbers and specifications would remain substantively unchanged and there was no substantive evidence of tangible effects on biodiversity.
