Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the protected species of great crested newts
- whether the proposed development would provide sufficient biodiversity net gain
- the effect of the proposed development on the protected species of badgers
- whether the proposed development would provide a sufficient hedgerow buffer
What decided it
The proposed development has not demonstrated that there would be no deterioration or destruction of the breeding sites and resting places of great crested newts, and this significant statutory protection conflict outweighs all cumulative benefits.
