Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the significance of the non-designated heritage asset
- whether any impact on bats could be suitably managed
- whether Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements can be suitably met and if any harm would result from any or all of the above
- whether there are material considerations that would justify a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposed bat house would replicate the hibernation roost resource being lost, and the scheme would not suitably manage effects on the bat population present at the site.
