Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on protected species, specifically skylarks
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the spatial strategy for the area

What decided it

The inability to be certain that the proposed development would not have an adverse effect on skylarks, a species of principal importance, which would conflict with the development plan and could not be outweighed by other material considerations.
