Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Middleton Conservation Area, with particular regard to the effect of the proposed development on the protected Lime tree

What decided it

The absence of detailed construction methodology and site-specific foundation details to demonstrate that the proposed garage construction would not cause harm to the protected Lime tree's root structure and health, which is a matter of very substantial weight given the tree's prominence and contribution to the conservation area.
