“…development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat. The Planning Policy Guidance further details applications that are exempt from biodiversity net gain legislation: this application for self/custom-build dwellings, as well as being retrospective, does not need to deliver a biodiversity net gain.”

“Whilst the proposal conflicts with the requirements of policy RD2 by creating new dwellings in the countryside, any harm would be limited. In contrast, the proposal would provide additional market dwellings in a sustainable location, and this benefit is considered to outweigh any harm. On balance, the proposal is recommended for approval. RECOMMENDATION Grant permission subject to the following conditions: 1.”

“CS8 Spatial distribution of housing sites CS17 Biodiversity CS19 Flood risk CONSULTATIONS Local Highway Authority (LHA): The road layout has not changed from the previous permission (PA/2021/657). Conditions are recommended for highway work, access and parking. Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA): Recommend conditions requiring a surface water drainage plan prior to occupation of the plots.”

“PUBLICITY A site and press notice have been posted and two responses have been received: • this and other applications would see an increase of 23 houses, along with other development – the facilities in the village are not adequate; the site access is also at a point that will have highway impacts • a generic comment relating to the provision of swift nest bricks.”
