Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alterations to the access would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Heighington Conservation Area with particular regard to its effect on a false acacia tree
What decided it
The private benefits of the access alterations do not outweigh the great weight to be attached to the conservation of the heritage asset, given the risk of deterioration or loss of the false acacia tree which makes a substantial contribution to the conservation area's character.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Heighington Conservation Area through potential deterioration or loss of the false acacia tree was not outweighed by the private benefits of improved access alignment.
