Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area which includes the setting of the Broads and the setting of the Halvergate Marshes Conservation Area with regard to the overall scale, form and design of the building
- the dark skies of the area
- protected species with particular regard to bats
What decided it
The proposal's incongruous design, increased scale and massing, and extensive glazing would result in harmful impacts on the character and appearance of the area, the setting of the Broads, the Halvergate Marshes Conservation Area, and dark skies, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh these harms and unresolved concerns regarding protected species.
