Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The absence of evidence demonstrating that the proposed garage would not cause unacceptable harm to the Tree Preservation Order protected tree, which makes a positive contribution to the visual amenity and character of the surrounding area.
The acceptable design quality and character impact of the extensions were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the likely unacceptable harm to the protected tree.
