Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The implications of the proposed garage for the proper planning of the area with regard to its potential effects upon the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 24 Havers Lane, highway safety and an oak tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate safe and suitable highway access arrangements and the absence of evidence that the protected oak tree would be retained and protected.
The harm to highway safety and the protected oak tree could not be fully mitigated by planning conditions and was not outweighed by other material considerations.
