Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to protected trees
What decided it

The adverse impacts of allowing the scheme, comprising significant harm to character and appearance through tree loss and design discordance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply contribution and associated economic and social benefits from a single dwelling.
