Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location is suitable in principle for the proposed use, having regard to its effect on the surrounding environment
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity, with particular regard to its relationship with ancient woodland
What decided it
The unacceptable risk of harm to irreplaceable ancient woodland habitat due to the proximity of the proposed kennels and absence of adequate ecological evidence to demonstrate avoidance or mitigation of adverse impacts.
