Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of occupiers of adjacent properties and future occupiers of the proposed dwellings
What decided it
The loss of the healthy, mature beech tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order, which makes a significant and positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area, substantially outweighs the benefits of providing 3 additional dwellings.
The adverse impacts of the development, particularly the loss of the beech tree, significantly outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the policies in the Local Plan and the aims of the Framework.
