Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the Retford South Conservation Area

What decided it

The absence of an up-to-date ecological survey demonstrating that protected species would not be harmed, combined with the potential for the proposed stable block to impair wildlife movement and connectivity, meant the proposal conflicted with biodiversity protection policies and could not be approved.
