Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effects on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would result in the avoidable loss or excessive pruning of nearby trees
- Effects on the living conditions of nearby residents
What decided it
The unresolved risk of long-term harm to the London plane tree's root protection area and potential for excessive pruning from future occupation meant the proposal could not be considered well-designed and therefore conflicted with the development plan.
