About this application
This is a planning application at Administration Building Woodhorn Queen Elizabeth Ii Country Park Ashington Northumberland NE63 9YF. Northumberland (County) has handled 16,734 applications of this type. This one was decided in 145 days, 14 weeks longer than Northumberland (County)'s typical decision time. The site is in 7 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 125 applications in total for the NE63 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- Insufficient ecological information has been submitted to adequately assess the impact of the proposed lighting scheme on protected species, particularly bats. As a result, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development would conserve and enhance biodiversity. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies ENV 1 and ENV 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan and Policy N2 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
