Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including, but not limited to, the setting of the locally listed Jolly Gardeners public house
  • whether or not the proposal would prejudice the operation of neighbouring land uses
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity including, but not limited to, protected species

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of a non-designated heritage asset, would prejudice neighbouring land uses through inadequately mitigated noise impacts, and would not demonstrate that protected species would not be harmed, with no material considerations justifying departure from the development plan.
