Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of sufficient evidence, the application has failed to demonstrate that the development would not give rise to harm to protected species and the Local Planning Authority is unable to discharge its legal duty and satisfy itself that a grant of planning permission would not be in conflict with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), Policy CP14 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
