Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on protected woodland
- Whether there would be adequate and appropriate amenity space for future occupiers
What decided it
The combination of the dwellings' proximity to protected woodland and the resulting severe overshadowing would create inadequate amenity space for future occupiers and would inevitably generate pressure for harmful tree works, contrary to both local plan policies and the NPPF.
The limited benefits of providing one or two dwellings in an accessible location would not outweigh the harm to the protected woodland and the inadequate living conditions for future occupiers.
