Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether any special need exists for the proposed manager's dwelling so as to outweigh any harm to the character or appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would include adequate provision for energy efficient buildings and renewable energy
- The likely effect upon the local population of bats
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by Blocks A and D and the replacement games room, combined with the failure to demonstrate a special need for the manager's dwelling, outweighed the economic benefits, whereas Block C alone would not cause such harm and could be approved with conditions.
