Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to protected trees
- The living conditions of future occupiers of plots 41–44, with particular regard to privacy, outlook and light
What decided it
The proposed removal of protected trees without adequate justification and the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook, privacy and light were decisive in dismissing the appeal.
