Why it was refused
- The development proposes additional overnight accommodation within the hydrological catchment of the Somerset Levels and Moors Ramsar site and no mitigation measures have been proposed to offset the additional phosphate loading such the Local Planning Authority cannot conclude the development would avoid adverse effects on the integrity of the Ramsar site and the appropriate assessment, required under Regulation 63(1) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 is failed and the development fails to comply with Policy EQ4 of the South Somerset Local Plan 2006-2028.
- The site access is located in flood zone 3 and is identified as being at risk from surface water flooding however the proposal has failed to demonstrate that it passes the sequential test and has not demonstrated safe access and egress from the site and therefore fails to comply with Policy EQ1 of the South Somerset Local Plan 2006-2028 and paragraphs 170, 174 and 175 of the NPPF. DC REPIPZ.v7
- The development is located in the setting of Grade I and Grade II listed buildings and has failed to assess the potential impacts to the significance of these assets. The proposal is considered to result in less than substantial harm to the setting of these assets which is not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme therefore the development fails to comply with Policy EQ3 of the South Somerset Local Plan 2006-2028, Paragraph 207, 212 and 215 of the NPPF and Sections 66 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The application of policies in the NPPF that protect areas and assets of particular importance individually and cumulatively provide strong reasons for refusing the development proposed.
- Insufficient information has been submitted to adequately assess the condition and quality of trees on site therefore the Local Planning Authority cannot conclude that the principle of the loss of trees would be acceptable and the development fails to comply with Policies EQ2 and EQ5 of the South Somerset Local Plan 2006-2028 and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
