Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the health and longevity of protected trees
- The effect of the development on local biodiversity
- Whether the proposals would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tideswell Conservation Area, and the setting of the Grade II listed Hardy House
What decided it
The cumulative harm to protected trees, local biodiversity, and heritage assets outweighs the public benefits of affordable housing provision.
The public benefits of providing two or three affordable dwellings in an accessible location were outweighed by the harm identified in relation to heritage assets, protected trees, and biodiversity.
