Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on ecological interests

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the established pattern of development and failure to provide adequate ecological survey evidence to demonstrate that protected species would not be harmed outweighed the locational benefits of being within the settlement boundary.
