Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on protected habitats
What decided it
The absence of a suitable mechanism to secure mitigation for significant adverse impacts on designated European sites, combined with the conspicuous harm to character and appearance through excessive ridge height, outweighed the housing benefits and economic gains.
The housing delivery benefits and limited economic benefits were given moderate weight but did not outweigh the significant harm to protected habitats and the limited harm to character and appearance, particularly given the international importance of the European sites.
