Why it was refused

  1. The ecological information submitted, including the preliminary roost assessment (2022) and bat emergence surveys (2023), demonstrate that although no bats found the building was considered to support an occasional day roost for pipistrelle bats. No bat roost characterisation report has been provided and therefore the information is insufficient to enable the Local Planning Authority to fully assess the potential impacts of the proposed development on protected species and to inform the licensing approach in accordance with best practice guidance. In the absence of this information, the proposal fails to demonstrate that it would not result in harm to protected species. The development is therefore considered contrary to Policies CP3, BE1 and NR3 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy, the Biodiversity and Development SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework

From the council's decision notice.
