Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of amenity space provision
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area with regards to the likely effect on trees adjacent to the appeal site
- Whether or not the proposal would suitably address energy requirements, with regard to carbon dioxide emissions
What decided it
The extremely constrained rear garden space, despite meeting area standards, would not provide acceptable usable private amenity space for future residents, and the proximity of mature trees would likely result in their removal or damage, collectively outweighing the limited benefits of the scheme.
The limited benefits of housing supply and economic activity were outweighed by significant harm to the living conditions of future residents regarding usable external amenity space and harm to trees which make a significant positive contribution to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
