What decided it
The appeal was invalid because the appellant failed to submit the minimum required information (biodiversity metric calculations and pre-development biodiversity value) as mandated by Article 7 of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, making it impossible for the Inspector to determine the appeal site's overall biodiversity value or priority habitat status.
