Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the relationship of the proposal to the protected trees
- whether the proposal would lead to the unacceptable loss of a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The unsatisfactory relationship between the proposed dwellings and the protected trees, which would substantially overshadow the properties and create pressure for future tree management or removal, conflicted significantly with development plan policies and outweighed the housing benefit.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the substantial weight given to the significant development plan conflict regarding the relationship to protected trees and harm to future occupiers' living conditions.
