Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to Ancient Woodland, a Green Gap and the landscape
  • the effect of the development on protected species

What decided it

The development would cause harm to Ancient Woodland, an irreplaceable resource, without wholly exceptional reasons to justify it, and would represent inappropriate development in a sensitive location contrary to the development plan.

No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to conflict with the development plan with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.
