Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity and protected species, with particular regard to Bats and Great Crested Newts

What decided it

The bungalow's sealed construction specifications and boarded loft, combined with the absence of any evidence from the Council demonstrating how the modest dormer windows could harm protected species or their habitats, led the Inspector to conclude there was no reasonable likelihood of adverse effects on biodiversity.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CS24
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 180

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
