Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with regard to impacts on protected trees
  • whether sufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal could be suitably drained, with reference to effects on water resources, quality and flood risk

What decided it

The careful design of the scheme to minimise effects on protected trees, combined with updated drainage calculations demonstrating technical feasibility, satisfied the main issues and justified allowing the appeal.
