- Procedure

- Development
- community-institutional · Other minor developments
- Inspector
- Lo S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development in the MOL having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development upon ecology and biodiversity, with particular regard to bats
- the effect of the proposed development on trees, specifically those which are protected by TPOs
What decided it
The absence of sufficient ecological and arboricultural information to assess potential harm to protected species and trees before the grant of planning permission, which the Inspector found could not be adequately addressed through planning conditions alone.
