- The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to external amenity space and outlook, and existing occupiers of the Coach House with regard to overlooking (Appeal A)
- Whether the development would have an adverse effect on the future health and longevity of protected trees (Appeal A)
What decided it
