Conditions and Reasons

Number
Condition
Complied Date
1
No ecological surveying has been provided with the application to establish whether protected species may be affected by the proposed development. Without such information it is not possible to determine whether all relevant material considerations have been taken into account, nor whether ecological mitigation is required. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 99 of the Government circular 2005/06 on biodiversity and geological conservation and contrary to Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 policy D20.
2
It has not been demonstrated that the proposed development can be brought forward without resulting in added nutrient loads (phosphorous) in the catchment of the Somerset Levels & Moors Ramsar Site. Insufficient information has therefore been provided to confirm, through a Habitat Regulations Assessment, that there would be no Likely Significant Effect on the Ramsar site. As such the proposal is contrary to Local Plan 2011-2032 policy D20 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017) (as amended).
3
The number and density of pitches proposed does not provide a layout which would enable provision of on-site ecological mitigation and enhancement, adequate separation from adjoining trees, appropriate space for means of disposal of foul waste in relation to phosphate mitigation, as well as not providing provision for on-site play for quality of life and well-being of future residents. The proposal is therefore contrary to the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 policies D2, D8, D20, D22 and D34.
