Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed garage on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area, with particular reference to the green route and protected trees
What decided it
The proposed garage would be a dominant and incongruous feature in a streetscene characterised by vegetation, causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the site, area, and green route, and creating unacceptable risk to the long-term viability of protected trees.
