Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of The Old Post Office with regard to light and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species
What decided it
The absence of required bat activity surveys meant the Inspector could not conclude that the proposal would not adversely affect protected species, which was a fatal flaw that outweighed the acceptable living conditions findings.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE3Policy NE2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 134Paragraph 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.
