Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on biodiversity, including great crested newts

What decided it

The development conflicts with Core Policy CP9 because the appellant failed to provide evidence of a net gain in biodiversity and failed to undertake necessary protected species surveys for great crested newts despite the site's location adjacent to suitable habitat and within a GCN Red Impact Zone.
