Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would constitute habitats development under Article 5B of the Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017 and whether it would adversely affect the integrity of the North Somerset and Mendip Bats Special Area of Conservation

What decided it

The proposal would constitute habitats development under Article 5B of the Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017 as it would be likely to have a significant effect on a European site (the Horseshoe Bat SAC) without adequate mitigation, and therefore cannot be granted permission in principle.
