Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on protected trees

What decided it

The proposal would introduce a large, prominent and incongruous parking shelter forward of the building frontage that would have a deleterious effect on the character and appearance of the area, and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate it would not harm the protected tree.
