Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the intended relocation of a felled protected tree
- Whether or not the proposal would have an acceptable effect upon the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development and of existing neighbouring occupiers, having particular regard to the effect of the intended replacement tree upon access to light
- Whether or not acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed development would prevail, having particular regard to the intended provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The delivery of an additional housing unit on an urban site well served by facilities and services, in accordance with the Government's objective of significantly boosting the supply of homes, outweighs the limited harm to character and appearance from the relocated replacement tree.
The replacement tree's reduced contribution to character and appearance, to which limited weight was apportioned, was outweighed by the scheme's benefits including delivery of an additional housing unit on an urban site well served by facilities and services in accordance with the Government's objective of significantly boosting the supply of homes.
