Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with specific reference to trees and whether or not the trees would have an effect on the living conditions of future occupiers
  • The effect of the proposal on the ecology of the area with specific reference to the River Eden Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through pressure to remove protected trees, adversely affect the living conditions of future occupiers through insufficient daylight and sunlight, and have an unmitigated adverse effect on the River Eden SAC and biodiversity, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
