Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposed development would be compliant with the requirements in respect of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
  • the effect of the proposed development upon trees

What decided it

The absence of required baseline biodiversity assessment and tree survey information meant the proposal could not be demonstrated to comply with BNG requirements and tree protection policies, and these policy conflicts could not be resolved through conditions.
