Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development on highway safety
- The effects of the development on biodiversity
- The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the street scene and wider Chiswick House Conservation Area
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate visibility splays and the unassessed risk of harm to the pavement tree's stability and long-term health created unacceptable harm to highway safety and biodiversity that could not be outweighed by private benefits.
The private benefits of off-street parking and electric vehicle charging were afforded limited weight and did not outweigh the harm to highway safety and biodiversity identified in the development plan.
