Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The harm from loss of the existing trees would be holistically balanced by suitable replacement tree planting secured by condition, such that the development would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance.

The harm to the rural quality from loss of mature trees was balanced against and outweighed by the medium to longer term benefits of replacement tree planting to local distinctiveness and the rural landscape setting
