Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- existing trees and hedges to the rear of No 18 Bathurst Road
What decided it
The absence of detail to accurately plot, categorise, and assess the effect of the development on existing trees and hedges with amenity value meant the development could have a potentially harmful effect contrary to saved Policy UD06 and paragraph 131 of the Framework.
Framework references: 131, 43
Plan policies cited: Policy CS3 of the Leicester City Core Strategy 2014, Appendix G of the Leicester City Council Residential Amenity Supplementary Planning Document 2008, saved Policy PS10 of The City of Leicester Local Plan 2006, saved Policy UD06 of The City of Leicester Local Plan 2006
