Decision status: APPROVED (In accordance with officer recommendation)

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decisions:

The North Area Team Manager introduced the report in conjunction with Item 11 and explained that where it was felt that a proposed project was considered to have a significant effect on a protected habitats site, then an appropriate assessment of the implications must be undertaken.

 

The Officer reported that it was concluded that an assessment under the Habitat Regulations  was not needed as the distance of the drainage field from the designated site would ensure that the phosphate levels would be considerably reduced before they entered the river, and would not have a significant impact on the Cressbrook Dale Special Area of Conservation.

 

The Officer recommendation to approve the recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

 

1.

That this report be adopted as the Authority’s assessment of likely significant effects on protected habitat under Regulation 63 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) in relation to the proposed conversion of Roost Barn to a single (restricted holiday occupancy) dwelling at Brookside Farm, Wardlow.

 

 

2.

It is determined that the conversion is unlikely to have a significant effect on the Cressbrook Dale SAC. Thus redevelopment of the site is not considered to be contrary to the provisions of Regulation 61 and 62 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the EU Habitats Directive and an Appropriate Assessment is not considered necessary.
