Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain
- The effect that varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The development would not meet the biodiversity net gain requirements of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because no enforceable mechanism existed to secure it as self-build and no biodiversity metric was submitted to demonstrate the required 10% increase in biodiversity value.
