Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would have an unacceptable arboricultural impact through the loss of an Ash tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the benefits of providing two family dwellings were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by any adverse impacts, particularly given that the tree objection had been resolved by a previous appeal decision.
The provision of market housing was afforded considerable weight and the benefits would not be significantly and demonstrably outweighed by any adverse impacts flowing from the proposal
