Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that amending condition 5 and condition 7 would have on the protected trees on the appeal site

What decided it

The absence of evidence demonstrating that the development has had no impact on the health of the protected trees means the pre-commencement nature of the conditions remains necessary to safeguard their contribution to character and appearance.
