Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on European Protected Species
- Whether the proposed change of use at this site is acceptable, having regard to relevant locational policies of the development plan
- The effect of the proposal on the character of the area, with particular regard to trees
What decided it
The absence of a preliminary bat survey to establish the presence and potential effects on European Protected Species meant the proposal could not be demonstrated to comply with the biodiversity protection requirements of the development plan.
