Plans for nine new homes on land at Mile Oak have been rejected.

Developers had hope to build on the site off Hints Road.

But a report from Lichfield District Council said the planning application had been refused.

> “The proposed development seeks the construction of nine dwellings which would be located outside of the settlement boundary for an identified rural settlement, within the rural area of the district.  
>  
> “It does not satisfy any of the exceptions for residential development in rural areas and is therefore unacceptable as a matter of principle.  
>  
> “It has not been demonstrated that the development would not cause significant harm to existing habitats of protected species and, the scheme fails to demonstrate that a net gain to biodiversity can be achieved.  
>  
> “As proposed the scheme of development would therefore cause harm to protected species and present a net loss to biodiversity.”  
>  
> Planning decision notice
