Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, including a preliminary bat roost assessment, the Local Planning Authority is unable to determine whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact upon protected species or their habitats. The proposal is therefore contrary to Part 19 of the NPPF (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
