Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the biodiversity value of the site, including areas of habitat and protected species that may be using it, would not be harmed by the development. Consequently, the proposal cannot demonstrate compliance with the aims of Core Policy 50 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy and paragraphs 180 and 186 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023).

From the council's decision notice.
