Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on character and appearance, with particular regard to trees
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The utilisation of the existing access minimised tree loss to the prominent site frontage, and the remaining mature trees would maintain the sylvan character of the area while mitigation measures would offset biodiversity loss.
