Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Nether Edge Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the Kenwood Hall Historic Garden
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity with particular regard to tree removal

What decided it

The substantial harm to the significance of the Kenwood Hall Historic Garden through loss of structural planting, combined with less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing four new houses.

the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and substantial harm to the historic garden, together with limited housing and economic benefits, tipped decisively against the proposal
