Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Walton on the Hill Conservation Area and the Walton on the Hill Residential Area of Special Character, including taking account of any effect upon the area's trees

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area through its incongruous appearance and the loss of mature trees, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
