Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed garage extension would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through encroachment on the setting of the landmark Cedar tree, harm to the listed building's curtilage greenhouse through enclosure, and moderate adverse impact to the tree itself, which outweighed any public benefits.
