Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon protected species
  • the effect of the development upon the highway system
  • whether appropriate living conditions could be secured for the future occupiers of the development
  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The development would conflict with the development plan on protected species, highway provision, and living conditions, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.

The adverse effects on protected species, the highway system, and living conditions for future occupiers conflicted with the development plan, and there were no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
