Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the host dwelling, with particular reference to outlook
- highway safety
- existing trees and biodiversity assets, including whether a net gain in biodiversity can be achieved
What decided it
The proposed development would adversely affect the character and appearance of the surrounding area, harm the living conditions of the host dwelling occupiers through loss of outlook, create highway safety concerns due to inadequate visibility and parking displacement, and fail to provide sufficient information on trees and biodiversity net gain.
