Why it was refused
- The application fails to provide adequate ecological information to enable the Local Planning Authority to properly assess the potential impacts of the proposed development. The house has potential to host roosting bats and no emergence surveys have been provided with the application. As such, there is insufficient information provided in order to assess the impact of the proposal on protected species, nor whether suitable avoidance, mitigation, or compensation measures are achievable. Accordingly, the application fails to demonstrate that the development would conserve or enhance the natural environment, and therefore conflicts with Policy ES6 of the Stroud District Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
