Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on protected trees surrounding the site
- whether the future occupiers of the proposal would have acceptable living conditions with particular reference to the adequacy of outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether the principle of development is acceptable
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate that it would not harm the health of protected trees and would not provide the minimum required external amenity space for acceptable living conditions, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh these harms.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 80Policy 56Policy D6Policy 53Policy 57Policy 15
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
