Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including loss of green space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The Inspector found no demonstrable harm to character and appearance or to neighbours' living conditions, with proposed mitigation (biodiversity net gain, acoustic fencing, conditioned hours) addressing the concerns raised.
the benefits of the biodiversity net gain and mitigation measures outweighed the loss of trees and any harm to the verdant character of the site
