Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Roundhay Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the delivery of biodiversity net gain and tree cover
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's large scale and massing would not be subservient to the adjacent villa and would appear incongruous within the conservation area, causing less than substantial harm that would not be outweighed by private benefits, and the failure to demonstrate biodiversity net gain and provide adequate tree replacement.
