Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on protected species
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the setting of The Ferry Boat Inn, a Grade II Listed Building

What decided it

The evidence demonstrated that the infilled pond was unsuitable habitat for protected species and that the car park extension, being partially screened and discreet, would not harm the listed building's significance or the area's character, provided biodiversity enhancements were secured by condition.
