Why it was refused

  1. The submitted preliminary bat roost assessment confirms the presence of bat roosts and recommends further emergence surveys are required. Insufficient ecological information has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to properly assess the impact of the development on bats, a legally protected species, or any necessary mitigation measures. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies HB1 and NE2 of the adopted Places and Policies Local Plan (2020), Policy CSD4 of the adopted Core Strategy Review (2022) and Paragraph 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
