Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring and prospective occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and noise
the effect of the proposal on existing trees

What decided it

The cumulative harmful effects on character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and existing trees, with no overriding reasons to permit the development, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and the appeal had to be dismissed.

The benefits of residential development and housing contribution were outweighed by the substantial harms to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and the threat to protected trees.
