Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on biodiversity, with specific regard to protected species
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on protected trees
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 130 Foxley Lane, with specific regard to outlook
What decided it
The lack of up-to-date ecological survey evidence and the resulting inability to rule out harm to protected species (bats and badgers) in accordance with legal obligations outweighed all other material considerations.
