Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development accords with development plan policy in respect of mitigation and enhancement of a Site of Importance of Nature Conservation (SINC)
  • Whether the development would deliver the required Biodiversity Net Gain
  • The effect of the proposal on the integrity of nearby habitat sites

What decided it

The removal of the appeal site from the SINC designation following the 2020 boundary amendment meant that the policy requirement for a Biodiversity Mitigation and Enhancement Plan was no longer applicable, as there would be no loss of SINC habitat to mitigate.
