Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension to the detached garage on nearby trees, with particular regard to the trees identified as T1 and T5 and their root protection area (RPA), and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed construction method using columns to minimise intrusion into already-compromised root protection areas, combined with conditions requiring detailed tree protection and construction specifications, would safeguard the future health of the trees and preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
