Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on protected trees on the site and any consequent effect on the Grade II* listed Amesbury Abbey registered park and garden, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Amesbury Conservation Area
- Parking provision and any consequent impact on highway safety
What decided it
The protected trees would not suffer significant harm from the development due to minimal root protection area encroachment and available mitigation measures, and parking provision would not be materially affected because the existing garage is not a practical or useable form of parking.
