Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings in relation to overlooking and overbearing impacts
- The effect of the proposal on the landscape character of the area, particularly through the loss of trees
- The aspiration to achieve nutrient neutrality in relation to nature conservation interests
- The adequacy of information submitted on the potential effect of the development on protected species
What decided it
The cumulative substantial harm from loss of protected trees, significant harm to neighbours' living conditions, unresolved nutrient neutrality, and inadequate ecological information collectively outweighed the limited benefits of two additional dwellings.
the benefit of two additional dwellings and limited economic benefits were clearly outweighed by substantial harm to landscape character/trees, significant harm to neighbours' living conditions, unresolved nutrient neutrality and inadequate protected species information, resulting in conflict with the development plan
