Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed variation of condition 2 upon designated habitats sites
- the effect of the proposed variation of condition 2 upon the character of the area, and securing and monitoring an appropriate standard of accommodation
- in the event of any harm or policy conflicts being identified in respect of the above issues, whether or not there are any other considerations that justify the proposed variation
What decided it
The proposal would result in likely significant effects upon designated habitats sites without adequate mitigation, which under section 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 precludes the scheme from proceeding.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy CP7, Policy DM28, Policy DM5, Policy ST3, Policy ST6
