Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including with reference to protected trees, landscape and local green space
- Biodiversity
- The safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's siting significantly forward of the established building line would be incongruous and harmful to the distinctive character and appearance of the Local Green Space and surrounding area, compounded by the loss of protected trees and inadequate biodiversity mitigation.
