- potential harm to biodiversity
What decided it
The potential for significant harm to a protected species (bats) in the absence of an ecological survey, combined with the loss of amenity space, means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework.
The adverse impacts of loss of amenity space and potential significant harm to protected species significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling in supporting services and limited economic benefit during construction, when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.
