Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Appleby Conservation Area, with regard to its effect on the health and longevity of the adjacent lime trees
What decided it
The development would cause material damage to or loss of two important mature lime trees within the conservation area, with no adequate mitigation or public benefits to outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the Appleby Conservation Area.
