Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient ecological information has been submitted to assess the impact of the development on protected species. Given the site's semi-rural location and the presence of two ponds within 250 metres of the site, the absence of a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) and Preliminary Roost Assessment (PRA) prevents the Local Planning Authority from determining whether the proposal would result in harm to protected species or their habitats. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policy ES6 of the Stroud District Local Plan (2015).

From the council's decision notice.
