Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the proposed entrance onto the C1055
- The effect of the proposal on the natural environment having regard to landscape features and protected species
What decided it
The proposed access arrangements would cause unacceptable harm to both the rural character and appearance of the area and the natural environment through hedgerow removal, tree root damage, and inadequately mitigated impacts on protected species habitats, contrary to the development plan policies and NPPF.
