Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the loss of the trees on the character and appearance of the area including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Melbourne Conservation Area
What decided it
The loss of the two protected trees would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area that would not be outweighed by the limited to moderate public benefits of the proposed development.
