Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, including the impact on trees
- Biodiversity, air quality and climate change
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 383 and 385 Easterly Road, with particular regard to the privacy of the rear gardens, and the future occupiers of Plot 1, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the character and appearance of the area through discordant development and pressure on protected trees, combined with unacceptable impacts on the privacy of existing neighbours and daylight/sunlight for future occupiers, outweighed the modest economic and social benefits of providing two dwellings.
