Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on protected species and habitats
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the settings of the Box Conservation Area and Pear Tree Cottage
What decided it
The failure to provide up-to-date ecological evidence demonstrating that protected bat species would not be adversely affected, combined with unacceptable design that would harm the character and appearance of the area and the settings of designated heritage assets, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh the heritage harm.
