Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on existing trees
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to outlook and overbearing effect
- The effect on ecology, including protected species
- Whether the proposal would restrict the delivery of affordable housing under earlier planning permissions on the wider site
What decided it
The uncharacteristic scale and unbalanced arrangement of the dwelling, combined with harm to protected trees through incursion into their root protection areas without adequate justification, caused significant conflict with the development plan that could not be outweighed by material considerations.
