Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species and habitats
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan policies
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate evidence that the proposed development would not adversely affect protected species and habitats, contrary to Policies NE4, NE5 and BN2, could not be overcome by the benefits of delivering a self-build dwelling.
Framework references: 58
Plan policies cited: Policy NE4, Policy NE5, Policy BN2, Policy S1, Policy R1, Policy SS1, Policy SS2, Policy LH1, Policy LH5
