Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building (listed as 72 Angel Street), including any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The effect of the proposal on protected species, specifically bat habitats
What decided it
The absence of a further bat survey to establish whether protected species would be adversely affected by the proposed works meant the proposal could not be approved, as it would be contrary to the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, Circular 06/2005, and NPPF paragraph 174(d).
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP19
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 174
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.
