Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of future residents, by the presence of trees covered under a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), in terms of loss of natural light
- The effect of the development on the Conservation Area
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on living conditions of future residents from overshadowing and loss of natural light from protected trees, combined with less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, which outweighed the limited public benefits of one additional housing unit.
The limited public benefits of one additional housing unit and construction employment did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, which must be given great weight under the Framework, and the unacceptable harm to living conditions from overshadowing.
