Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Peppercorn Cottage, with particular reference to daylight and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species
- Whether the proposed development would make provision for biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that protected species would not be harmed and the inability to show that the statutory 10% biodiversity net gain requirement could be met, combined with non-compliance with the development plan, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing a new dwelling.
