Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on protected trees
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area through loss of protected trees and threat to a retained mature tree, combined with modest benefits, means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under the tilted balance.
The modest social and economic benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance through tree loss and the conflict with Framework design and tree retention objectives, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
