Why it was refused

  1. The application has not provided sufficient ecological information on European protected species (Bats). As such, the local planning authority has no certainty of the likely impacts of the development on European protected species and cannot demonstrate compliance with its statutory duties to conserve and enhance biodiversity and to prevent wildlife crime. The development would fail to comply with Core Policy 38 of the Uttlesford Local Plan (2026), paragraphs 44, 187(d), 193(a) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), as well as section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 and section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.

From the council's decision notice.
