Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular reference to trees the subject of a Tree Preservation Order
- the living conditions of occupants of the extended dwelling, with particular reference to overshadowing and leaf fall
What decided it
The closer proximity and increased height of the two-storey extension would create realistic and difficult-to-resist pressure for future works to protected trees, potentially undermining their long-term retention and public amenity value.
The benefits of thermal upgrading and accessibility improvements did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area through potential undermining of protected tree retention.
